Easter Monday sees Alfreton Town head south to take on Worcester City where they will meet up with former Reds Emeka Nwadike and Ryan Clarke who both left the Impact Arena for St George's Lane last summer.
The fixture gives the Reds one of only two remaining chances to record a league double this season having beaten City 3-1 at the Impact Arena back on September 22nd, this despite Alfreton being reduced to ten men after just 12 minutes when Chris Walton was sent off.
Kris Bowler's first goal of the season and a brace from Brian Cusworth gave the Reds a 3-1 half-time lead which Nicky law's side defended admirably in the second half to earn all three points.
City went down 1-0 at form side Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday, it being Celtic's seventh straight win.
The Reds will be looking to get back to winning ways as they seek a first league victory in four outings but to achieve their fifth away win of the season, they will have to halt a poor run that has brought defeats in their last four trips for points.
The Reds are however, unbeaten in three trips to Worcester having drawn all three games in previous trips.
Manager Nicky Law will have latest signing Jordan Hall available but Anton Brown will face a late test on his injured ankle.
Worcester - who have won three and lost four of their last ten in the league - are currently 10th in the table with 50 points, 30 of which have come from home games. The Reds - who have won just once in the last ten league games - are 15th with 41 points having played a game less.
