Weekend Preview


Following their 9-8 defeat on penalties to Barking on Wednesday night Romford are at home to local rivals Aveley on Saturday. Romford have hit a bit of bad form in recent weeks and haven't won since early November which has meant dropping down to 12th in the tables. The visitors have had a great first half of the season are sitting second in the table joint with Grays Athletc. Aveley have won five of their last six games and will be hoping to continue this with an away win at Ship Lane.

Hornchurch are away to Weston-Super-Mare on Saturday. The Urchins have been on a fine run of form in recent weeks but are still in relegation trouble with the league being so tight. Weston-Super-Mare are seven places above Hornchurch but a win for the Essex side would put them level on points with their opponents.

Dagenham and Redbridge are away at Bristol Rovers this weekend and will be hoping to get back to winning ways. In their last outing they lost 2-1 to play-off chasers Torquay United. The Daggers are sitting comfortably in 16th place while their opponents are only one place and one point off the relegation zone. Bristol Rovers have only one once in their last nine games and Dagenham will be hoping that the run continues after Saturday's match.

Leyton Orient have been on a great run lately having won their last seven matches. This is the first time they have done this in 50 years. This run of form has moved the East London club away from the relegation zone and has put the play-offs in their sights. Orient will be hoping to continue this winning streak when they visit relegation contenders Bury on Saturday. Bury are currently occupying the last relegation spot but will take confidence going into the game after their last three results.

Following their great result against Chelsea last Saturday, West Ham will be going into this Sunday's match with Liverpool with full confidence of another victory. West Ham have had a tough winter period but have so far triumphed with good results at home to Chelsea and Manchester City. Liverpool will be with out top scorer and talisman Luis Suarez who is suspended for the match after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Southampton last weekend.
