Celtic are boosted by the return of Paul Sykes, who has completed a two-match suspension while Barrie Keeling is pushing for a start after making the bench for Celtic's 3-0 win at home to Workington.

Alfreton boss Nicky Law has the luxury of a fully-fit squad to choose from following Saturday's 4-0 win over relegation-threatened Vauxhall Motors.

Danny Reet will require a fitness test ahead of the match after limping off in the 1-0 loss away at Nuneaton.

Blue SQ have odds of 6/1 on this encounter ending in a 1-1 draw.

Vauxhall Motors v Boston United

Vauxhall Motors are in desperate need of points at the moment and can expect another stern examination when Boston United visit Rivacre Park.

Workington v Hyde United

Workington have slipped closer to the drop zone after Saturday's defeat and will have the chance to make amends when play-off chasers Hyde United travel to Borough Park.

The Reds were comfortably beaten by league leaders Kettering but had previously gone four matches without defeat.

The Tigers saw their promotion play-off hopes take a denting after a narrow defeat to Burscough and they will be focused on bouncing back with a good result.

Hyde are currently in seventh place on the Blue Square North table and have collected 57 points from 33 fixtures.

Blue Square South

Braintree Town v Lewes

Play-off hopefuls Braintree Town will need to record a good result on Tuesday evening when league leaders Lewes travel to the Dripping Pan.

Lee Patterson's side trail the play-off places by five points and a winning result would see them keep their promotion dreams alive.

Blue SQ have given the visitors odds of 7/1 on a 2-0 win.
