BROMSGROVE and Luctonians come face to face for the first time on Saturday since their promotion to Midlands One.
The two, who were promoted from Midlands Two (West), meet at Finstall Park as Bromsgrove patch up the walking wounded in a bid to get through their injury crisis.
Luctonians have made an impressive start to their league season, notching up four wins so far but Bromsgrove have faded somewhat after 10 first team players dropped out due to injuries.
Malvern, meanwhile, will look to knock leaders Longton off their perch as they travel to Spring Lane for a fascinating enounter.
In Midlands Two (West), Hereford will bid to get back to winning ways, following Saturday's defeat to Sutton Coldfield, with victory at Camp Hill.
