PREVIEW: Nuneaton v Harriers

8:00am Tuesday 26th February 2013 in News

HARRIERS will see their top of the table credentials tested by a resurgent Nuneaton side who are battling relegation tonight.

While second-placed Reds are flying high on the back of five straight wins, Nuneaton are fighting for their lives in the bottom four of the Blue Square Bet Premier.

But back-to-back victories over Alfreton and Barrow have given them hope of escaping the drop.

Assistant boss Gary Whild is expecting a tough game at Liberty Way.

He said:  "If we want to sustain where we are and push on, we've said all along we've got to keep raising the bar and Nuneaton are no different.

"There is the extra-spice of a local derby and Nuneaton are desperate to maintain their status in this division.

"It will be tough and we will have to be at our very best to get something from it."

 

Defender Lee Vaughan looks set to be available after missing the last two games with  a groin injury. If he returns to the side, he replaces Ricky Shakes.

Victory for Harriers and a defeat for Wrexham at Barrow would see Steve Burr's side rise to the top of the table.
