Two of the promotion contenders in the Midland Premier League play each other on Saturday whilst leaders Hereford are away at AFC Wulfrunians.
Second placed Alvechurch are due to play fourth placed Sporting Khalsa at the Lye Meadow.
As far as Hereford are concerned a draw might be the best result but whatever happens one or other of the two teams will drop points.
At present there is some doubt whether the game will go ahead at the Lye Stadium given the wet weather forecast for the rest of the week.
Both teams have played four games less than Hereford and would not want to see the game called off if at all possible.
| 1 | Hereford | 23 | 19 | 1 | 3 | 77 | 21 | 56 | 58 | |
| 2 | Alvechurch | 18 | 15 | 1 | 2 | 53 | 13 | 40 | 46 | |
| 3 | Heanor Town | 22 | 14 | 4 | 4 | 63 | 38 | 25 | 46 | |
| 4 | Sporting Khalsa | 18 | 13 | 1 | 4 | 47 | 21 | 26 | 40 |
"This is a very big game for us and hopefully we can put a
knife through their title hopes and make ourselves the number one
contenders to chase down Hereford," Alvechurch manager Ian Long told the Redditch Advertiser.
"That's if the game goes ahead, we have a lot of rain scheduled this week so we'll have to see what happens.
"I would be happy to play it at Khalsa if it gets the game on but we'll see."
Long watched Hereford's game against Westfields on Boxing Day.
"It's unusual to see a side get two home games over Christmas but full credit to Hereford who are a very good side.
"We went to watch them on Saturday and they have a good team, a
fantastic stadium and a big fan base and they should be winning this
league.
