It may only be November but this game is as big as it gets after poor starts to the season for both Rovers and Wroxham.

Wroxham are rock bottom, seven points from safety while Rovers, five points better off than our opponents tomorrow, could more out of the relegation places with a victory. Rovers have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks under the guidance of Keith Wilson, and are unbeaten in their last three matches - the first time this has been achieved this season.

The Norfolk side have lost five of their last six matches, although they did crush VCD Athletic 4-0 six days ago, showing there is fight in them yet.

Rovers comes into it off the back of a first clean sheet of the season.

Rovers won the reverse fixture at the start of October with Billy Johnson, Nick Skelton and Jacob Cleaver on target that day.

Rovers Team News
Experienced forward Steve Butterworth could return. Centre backs Kye Jude and new signing Nikki Beale played well in Rovers shut-out of VCD Athletic on Tuesday evening, giving Wilson a selection headache following the return of captain, John Easterford.
