Brora Rangers v Forres Mechanics
The top four teams in the league face each other and it's third versus fourth as Brora take on Forres at Dudgeon Park. Neil Macdonald, Paul Brindle and James Ross miss out for the home side, but Gavin Morrison returns to the squad.
Graham Fraser is suspended for Forres, while Stuart Knight, (groin) Craig McGovern, (knee) and Lee Fraser (knee) are all out injured. Alan McPhee is also unavailable, while Stuart Soane and Martin Groat could be fit enough to return to the bench.
Buckie Thistle v Fort William
Buckie take on Fort William at Victoria Park and they remain without the injured Daniel Bell, Sam Urquhart, Ceiran McLean, John McLeod, Hamish Munro, Kevin Fraser, Shaun Caroll, Scott Adams and Jay Cheyne.
Fort have a few availability concerns for tomorrow and another it will be another young side travelling to Buckie.
Fraserburgh v Cove Rangers
Bellslea is the venue for the top of the table clash between Fraserburgh and Cove Rangers. Willie West, Michael Rae and Marc Dickson are all out injured for Broch, who will be aiming for a win to put a dent in Cove's perfect league record and close the gap between them to five points.
Cove talisman Mitch Megginson is doubtful and will face a late fitness test, while Ryan Strachan is fit again and returns to the squad.
Huntly v Inverurie Locos
Huntly face Locos in the A96 derby at Christie Park and they'll be without Matthew Johnson and Darren Wood for this one. The home side were boosted this week with the news that Ross Still, Cammy Booth and Alex Thoirs have all agreed contract extensions to 2021.
Locos could close the gap at the top with a win, with the four teams above them playing each other. Greg Mitchell, Connor Rennie, Andy Hunter, Johnny Smith and Joe McCabe all miss out for the visitors.
