Goals from Josh Spinks, Andrew Dalhouse, Callum Saunders and Nathan Copper gave Heath a convincing 4-1 win in December.

But Saunders knows it won't be as easy this time round.

He said: "We won there quite well but since then there has been a change in management and new people have come in and have put in some half decent performances and look a more solid outfit to the one we played before.

"If we are not switched on it could be a long afternoon for us. They are fighting for points, they are not playing for nothing so it will be a toughy."
