Fylde will overtake Town if they win or draw at home to Salford, who could go top themselves if they win.

Darlington, who are at home to Chorley on Wednesday night, could then go top but may need to win by a few goals to do so depending on the Fylde v Salford result.

However, Town could regain top spot if they beat Fylde on Saturday.
