SCENE-SETTER
United haven't lost in the league since October 19th and will be looking to continue their climb up the League Two table, having climbed to 16th with a 2-1 home win over Port Vale in their last league encounter on November 23rd.
It will be the first match in all competitions since November 27th when United won 3-1 away at League One side Blackpool in the second round of the Leasing.com Trophy.
Our opponents sit second in the division, one point away from the top, and drew 0-0 at home to current top three rivals Crewe Alexandra in their last league game.
They drew 2-2 at home to Carlisle United in the Emirates FA Cup second round last weekend too.
