Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Sutton United Will try their very best in maintaining their efforts to ensure promotion this season, making sure that last year's relegation was only a one off. The current league table is quite deceiving as there is only a two point gap to eighth position so a win would put them in those playoff places.

Both sides have got target men that they can rely on for goals so it will be a question whether which teams striker can find the back of the net at the most important time.

Sutton United Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Steve Arnold; Charlie Waller, Tyler French, Chinwike Okoli, Alex Kirk; Lewis Simper, Finley Barbrook; Josh Coley, Jayden Harris, Ashley Nadesan; Will Davies

Sutton United have unfortunately keep the same momentum that saw them relegated down to the National League last season. Provided it has only been 14 games but a team that had spent time in the division above should not really be doing this poor. Sutton sit in 13th place with five wins, five losses and four draws. Those 19 points are not too bad considering that as high as eighth place Yeovil Town have a two point gap with 21 points. A win and they could climb five places up the league table.

The Amber and Chocolates have had their attack on fire this season. Josh Coley, Will Davies and Ashley Nadesan all have bagged four goals so far this season. Attacking midfielder Jayden Harris has also been great so far, only one goal behind those aforementioned teammates. This Wednesday is the perfect time for these players to add more goals and establish themselves in the running for club top goalscorer this season.

Gateshead Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Tiernan Brooks; Dan Jones, Brandon Haunstrup, Ben Radcliffe; Callum Whelan, Regan Booty, Jacob Butterfield, Charlie Colkett, Luke Hannant; Tyrelle Newton, Owen Oseni

Gateshead have been on the up over the last couple years and that has continued on into this season. Two years ago and they finished in 14th place after being promoted the previous year. Last season and they finished sixth and unfortunately lost in the Playoff. Now however, after 14 games they find themselves in fourth place with eight wins, three defeats and three draws. They are flying at the moment but they have found themselves shaky at the back at times, conceding 19 goals.

The Tynesiders have had goals coming from all areas. The most obvious one and the one with the most goals is at striker where Owen Oseni has put the ball in the back of the net five times this season. Next is Callum Whelan with three goals from left midfield and then with two goals is right midfielder Luke Hannant and centre back Ben Radcliffe. Any one of those players could come in handy to find themselves on the scoresheet and help Gateshead take all three points back with them.
