TEAM NEWS

Spartans have won two on the trot heading into this fixture as what will be a vital match for Spartans as we continue to push for a play-off place come the end of the season. The Bedlington game will have gavin the players a good warm up for the weekend's fixture at what was previously Gigg Lane but the now renamed JD Stadium.

Ash Davis' 3 game ban will start from Saturday which rules him out of the tie. Sonny Andrews will be back in the squad and hopeful to continue his goal scoring form from Wednesday will be Craig Hubbard. According to the boss, a couple players are carrying small knocks but everyone is eager to get on the pitch and contribute towards a vital game for Blyth.
