The Robins will be full of confidence following their hard-earned 2-1 midweek victory away to Whitby Town as they aim to register back-to-back league victories for the first time since October.

A Word From The Gaffer

Speaking after triumph on the East coast, manager Steve Cunningham said: "I know we've been questioned and doubted, and rightly so in some games, but I can't fault the lads' effort and endeavour to go to Cleethorpes, Morpeth the week before that, and then here at Whitby. It's been a tough run of games."

Opposition Watch

Ilkeston Town are currently situated in 12th place of the Pitching In Northern Premier League standing, two positions and four points behind Steve Cunningham's side in 10th after 33 games.

Last time out, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat on home turf at the hands of Stockton Town.

Last Time We Met

Both sides last faced off against each other in November at the New Manor Ground. Second half goals from Enock Lusiama and Darius Osei secured three points on the road for the Robins in league action.
