AFC Sudbury will be looking to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat away at Brightlingsea Regent, as they travel to Capershotts to take on Waltham Abbey.
AFC's promotion push was dented on Easter Monday (6th April), after defeat at Brightlingsea, but they will be looking to retain a play-off place, when they take on the south Essex side.Abbey beat Cheshunt 1-0 on Easter Monday to end a run of five consecutive defeats, and they will be looking to move up, from 15th in the Ryman North table, in search of a top-half finish, come the end of the season.
The Reverse Fixture: The meeting between the two sides earlier in the season saw Waltham Abbey defeat 3-0 by the Yellows; Sam Clarke, Terry Rymer and an Abbey own-goal sealed the win, which put Sudbury up to sixth on that day
Sudbury boss Jamie Godbold has a full squad to pick from for today's match - with the addition of recent signing Scott Mitchell, from Leiston, who completed his suspension in last weekend's victory over Barkingside.
Other fixtures that could be of interest to fourth-placed AFC (83pts, GD +30) include 3rd placed Brentwood taking on 7th placed Dereham, Thurrock away at Soham Town Rangers, Heybridge vs Wroxham, and Brightlingsea at home to Needham.
