Windsor & Eton will make the 105 mile trip to the Aldersmith Stadium in Somerset on Saturday to take on the leagues draw specialists Frome Town.
The two clubs played out a goalless draw at Stag Meadow four weeks ago and both sides will be looking to protect long unbeaten runs.

Windsor’s 6-0 thumping of league strugglers Bracknell Town last weekend meant the club remain unbeaten so far this season. The lead at the top of the Southern League Division One South and West was increased to eight points as AFC Totton only managed a 3-3 draw at Taunton Town, despite taking the lead on three occasions.
Frome Town travelled to Stag Meadow earlier this week to play Windsor’s tenants, Bedfont Green. Motorway hold ups meant the game was delayed by 25 minutes and eventually kicked off at 8:10pm. However, the visitors did not let it phase them and extended their unbeaten run to 15 games with a 4-1 victory.
Darren Perrin’s side, playing in the Southern League for the first time in the clubs history, are now in a play-off position (5th) but have played more games than anyone else in the league to date.
The Robin’s have not lost since 26th August (3-1 v Thatcham Town) and their 15 match unbeaten run includes eight wins and seven draws. The 75th minute consolation goal they conceded on Tuesday evening was their first in ten hours and 18 minutes of football.
The Royalists secured their fifth consecutive clean sheet last weekend meaning they have now gone eight hours and 17 minutes without conceding.
Frome Town have drawn seven of their 20 league matches so far this season which is more than any other team in the division, and they have scored fewer goals than any other side in the top nine, currently 30 goals in 20 games.
However, they have already recorded home victories against the likes of Abingdon United and Cirencester Town this season and have lost just one in nine at the Aldersmith Stadium (v Thatcham).
The 0-0 draw in November was the only time these two sides have met in recent history.
Striker Luke Ballinger could be the home side’s biggest goal threat. Signed at the start of the season from Gloucester City, he has netted nine times in 13 appearances.
Midfielder Adam Dickens is the only unavailable player in Keith Scott’s squad.
