Thackley go into the weekend as the highest-placed local club in the Kool Sport Northern Counties East League Premier Division but they will need a good home victory if they are to ensure they remain there.
Saturday sees sixth-placed Thackley hosting Winterton Rangers, the club directly below them in the table.
New Reds manager Dave Morgan is beginning to stamp his mark on the squad but it is a long process.
Morgan has engineered two victories in his five games in charge. Two of the defeats suffered were against top sides expected to battle for promotion.
Last Saturday, they earned a three-point maximum at lowly Lincoln Moorlands.
