Hinckley Leicester Road welcome Coventry Sphinx to the Leicester Road Stadium this weekend in search of their 3rd consecutive league win which dependant on other results could take The Knitters to 12th in the Northern Premier League Midlands.

It's a huge turnaround for Neil Lynes men who after going through opening 2 months without a league win have the opportunity to end November accumulating 13 out of a possible 18 points.

Hinckley now have the second top goalscorer in the league, Liam Read who has scored 8 in the past 9 games in all competitions to take his total to 12 in all competitions with 10 of those coming in the league. Notably The Knitters have only lost once in the league when Read has found the net.

Coventry Sphinx meanwhile come into the game 1 place and 1 point behind the Knitters also knowing victory could propell them up the table. Coventry have had a mixed bag of results in November, they started the month with a victory over playoff chasing Sporting Khalsa before coming away from Anstey Nomads with a draw keeping a clean sheet in both games. Since those 2 good results they have dropped points to relegation rivals Loughborough Students and Lye Town, the latter beating Sphinx at Sphinx Drive this past weekend.

The two sides last met back in April on the final day of the league season where a Ben Humphreys goal separated the two sides and The Knitters will be hoping for a similar result as they set their sights on moving up the table.
