United are currently 10 points off the top five, with a game in hand, and know that three points against the Steelmen would firmly re-ignite their push for a play-off berth.

Opponents Corby, managed by former Stamford AFC boss Graham Drury, are eighth and have suffered only one away defeat to date — while the Pilgrims will be gunning for a fourth home win of the campaign following three victories, three draws and three defeats on home soil to date.

The Pilgrims will be minus the services of injured skipper Gareth Jelleyman (hamstring), meaning Tom Ward could regain his place in the starting XI.

United co-boss Lee Canoville could also return to the squad after his own hamstring troubles in recent weeks.

The corresponding fixture last season ended 1-0 in United’s favour thanks to a second half winner from Miles Hunter.

Tuesday’s match referee is Guy Stretton and those not in attendance can follow the action on United Live.

The Pilgrims are 5/4 to record a home victory. League sponsors Blue Square Bet have Corby at 17/10 and the draw on offer at 5/2.
