There’s plenty of action involving Midland Football League clubs on Tuesday night with no fewer than twelve matches scheduled across six different competitions.

In the Premier Division, Lye Town, who currently sit in 11th place can move all the way up to 3rd with a win at home to bottom of the table Market Drayton Town. Such is the competitive nature of the Midland Football League Premier Division that only five points separate 3rd from 13th in the league standings. The reverse fixture at the end of October was an entertaining affair, the Fliers emerging with a 4-3 victory over the Gingerbread Men thanks to Sam Tye’s stoppage time winner.

Tonight’s Midland Football League Premier Division fixture:

Lye Town vs Market Drayton Town (7:45pm)

Also in league action are Wednesfield and Droitwich Spa who meet at the Cottage Ground in Division 1. Droitwich Spa will be looking to close the gap on the play-off places with a win against a Wednesfield side who sit comfortably in mid-table despite losing their last three league fixtures.

Wednesfield vs Droitwich Spa (7:45pm)
