The big games just keep on coming for the Brewers as Saturday sees them travel to second place Lincoln United knowing that a win would see them leapfrog their promotion rivals.

There was a sense that an opportunity was missed at the i2i Stadium last week as Taddy failed to capitalise on key chances when 2-1 up against 4th place Brighouse Town. However on the other hand, a stoppage time penalty save from deputising stopper James Hodges ensured that Albion continued their fine unbeaten league run.

Lincoln played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw with fellow play-off contenders Sheffield FC last time out bouncing back from a heavy defeat at Brighouse. The Whites as they are known, have only lost once on their home turf so will be looking to keep up that excellent statistic and take key points off a rival.

The festive season has thrown up a number of pivotal matches in the Evo-Stik East and this is certainly another as the Brewers lurk two points behind their opponents but do hold two games in hand; as well as Morpeth, Brighouse and Marske.

With Sheffield and Morpeth both on the horizon, a win for Tadcaster here would go a really long way for their promotion push in the Evo-Stik East League.

Unbeaten in their last nine, can they make it a magic ten by winning their fifth away match on the bounce.

Team News: Michael Ingham (thumb) won’t feature again until 2019. Paddy Miller is also missing so Ellis Barkworth is likely to come back in with Josh Barrett shifting across to central defence.
