Southend United vs. Yeovil Town
- Date: Saturday, September 5
- Time: 12.30pmÂ
- Venue:Â Roots Hall
One of the most intriguing clashes of the weekend comes from Roots Hall as Southend United and Yeovil Town meet in Saturday's early encounter.
Kieron Dyer's men started the season strongly, living up to their label as promotion contenders but are without a win in their last two, having dropped points to Kidderminster Harriers and Woking over the weekend.
The Shrimpers sit in seventh and will be seeking their second home win of the campaign to keep up with the leading pack.
Yeovil are one of two unbeaten sides in the fifth tier and are on a roll after winning their last three, with victories over Gateshead, Barrow and Tamworth.
It has been a vast improvement from a side that narrowly avoided relegation last term, with Billy Rowley deserving immense credit for his hard work.
Boreham Wood vs. Carlisle United
- Date: Saturday, September 5
- Time: 5.30pmÂ
- Venue: Meadow Park
The headline clash of the weekend comes from Meadow Park as league leaders Boreham Wood welcome Carlisle United in what promises to be an epic.
After losing on penalties in the play-off final last term, Luke Garrard's men are hellbent on going one better this season and are unbeaten, having won their last four.
Abdul Abdulmalik may have completed his record move to Djurgardens IF, but the Wood have continued their fine scoring streak, edging out Worthing in a five-goal thriller on Monday.
After a slow start, Carlisle have shown signs that they could challenge for promotion, taking seven points from their last three matches.
Their 4-2 victory over Scunthorpe United on Monday was their best of the campaign, but Rob Elliot's side must be on top form to take anything from Meadow Park.
