SCARBOROUGH will be looking for their first back-to-back wins of the season when Northwich Victoria visit the McCain Stadium tonight (7.45pm)

The Cheshire side have been docked ten points for going into administration and are rooted to the foot of the Nationwide Conference table.

But that will make them even harder to beat in Boro coach Nicky Henry's view.

"They are hurting and will think everyone is against them which makes a team stick together and give that bit extra," he said.

"They have drawn quite a few of their games but we must improve our home form and you have to be honest and say that we have the best possible chance to do just that in this game."

Henry will be without the suspended Mark Hotte but Tony Hackworth and Scott Kerr, who missed the trip to Forest Green on Saturday, face late fitness tests and Henry is hopeful that both will be okay.

He said: "Tony had a dead leg while Scott has sinusitis and is on a course of tablets and could improve enough to make the squad."

Goalkeeper Peter Keen and loan man Kevin Townson from Rochdale are both set to make their home debuts.

Boro have not won at home since August 14 and their last four games at the McCain Stadium have ended 1-1.

Scarborough from: Keen, Lyth, Baker, Foster, Cryan, Nicholson, Thompson, Redfearn, Kerr, Gilroy, Townson, Foot, Senior, Pounder, Hackworth, Burton, Horrigan.

Old rivalries will be revived at Goole tonight when Paul Marshall sets his high-fliers against old club Harrogate Railway.

Goole will be looking to return to the winning trail after three games without a win, although they are still second in the Northern Counties East League premier division after results around them went their way.

Centre half Dave Watts will come back into the squad to shore up a defence that has leaked seven goals in three games, and Mark Willoughby could be recovered from injury.

Robbie Whellans will be missing from the Harrogate Railway as he is away, but the Rail will otherwise be looking to build on a great 3-0 defeat of league leaders Shirebrook.

Pickering Town are also in action at home to Sheffield. A win could propel them into the top six for the first time this season. Boss Alex Mathie will check on a could of his injured players before naming his side.

Nationwide North side Harrogate Town have been drawn away to Liversedge in the next round of the FA Cup.

John Reed's men toppled Holker Old Boys 3-0 in the second qualifying round and will now travel to NCEL premier division outfit Liversedge near Dewsbury on October 16.

York City and Scarborough will both come into the competition at the next and final qualifying stage.
