Norwich United extended their unbeaten run to six games with their 3-1 win over bottom side Cheshunt a week ago, but more importantly the victory gave them a nine-point cushion over their opponents.
That gap was reduced to eight points on Tuesday with the Ambers securing a late point at home to Soham Town Rangers.
Planters manager Steve Eastaugh will still be looking for three points at home to Tilbury today with the clubs around them all picking up points in recent weeks. The Planters have picked up three wins in a five-game unbeaten home run as they have moved away from the bottom of the table, but will have to do without the unavailable Ben Jones.
Their visitors sit just five points above the Planters and the two teams shared an eight-goal draw in September. The Dockers will be looking to end a four-game losing streak.
Fourth-placed Dereham Town have a huge home game at home to leaders AFC Hornchurch.
