Highland League
Clach v Buckie Thistle
New Clach boss Sandy McLeod takes charge of his first league game when Buckie visit Grant Street.
The visitors recorded an excellent win over Formartine last weekend, only to then lose to Fraserburgh on penalties in the Aberdeenshire Cup in midweek. They remain without Cieran McLean and John McLeod long-term.
Fraserburgh v Forres Mechanics
Broch take on Forres at Bellslea as they aim to continue their superb start to the season. Michael Rae is suspended for this one, but defender Bryan Hay is back in the squad.
Martin Groat and Callum Johnstone are both unavailable for the visitors, while Stuart Soane is doubtful with a calf strain. Manager Charlie Rowley is hopeful the in-form Alan McPhee will be available, but he could miss out due to work commitments. This game is too soon for Ross McPherson and Lee Fraser to be involved from the start.
Huntly v Inverurie Locos
Huntly face local rivals Locos at Christie Park and Declan Milne could be involved for the home side, after joining them on loan from Buckie until the end of December.
Eric Watson and Neil McLean return for the visitors, who ended Nairn's 100 percent start in some style last time out. Johnny Smith is unavailable for the short trip up the A96.
Lossiemouth v Keith
Lossiemouth's Scott Gordon has a one match suspension after his red card last weekend, and misses their home clash with Keith. Scott Wilson, Dean McCall and Callum Clark also miss out due to injury.
Keith also have several players out, including Ryan Spink, Andy Smith, Stewart Hutcheon, Cammy Keith, David Dey and Ryan Kier. Adam Clark returns to the squad.

The following Highland League matches scheduled for today have been postponed due to waterlogged pitches:
Clach v Deveronvale
Fort William v Wick Academy
Team news from today's other matches:
Brora Rangers v Huntly
Brora suffered their first league defeat at Nairn last weekend, and they'll hope to return to winning ways against Huntly at Dudgeon Park. Kyle Macleod and Dale Gillespie miss out through injury, while Steve Martin is unavailable. John Pickles and Paul Brindle return to the squad.
Huntly travel north in search of their first league points of the season.
Buckie Thistle v Formartine Utd
Jay Cheyne is unavailable for Buckie and misses the visit of Formartine to Victoria Park, in one of two cracking top-six clashes today. John McLeod and Cieran McLean remain on the long-term injury list.
Formartine continued their excellent goalscoring form in the league by putting five past Clach last time out, including a second hat-trick of the season from new signing Scott Lisle. The club have also reached an agreement in principle to sign former player Daniel Park from Cove Rangers.
Clach P-P Deveronvale
In other news, Clach have appointed former player and Ross County youth coach Sandy McLeod as their new manager, following the departure of Brian Macleod earlier this month.
Forres Mechanics v Keith
Forres take on Keith at Mosset Park and they have Scott Miller unavailable and Moray Taylor out with a hand injury. Ross McPherson and Lee Fraser are back in full training but not ready to play yet.
Keith have bounced back superbly from their Buckie mauling to record wins over Fort William and Turriff, moving them up to eighth place in the table.
Fort William P-P Wick Academy
Inverurie Locos v Nairn County
Fourth take on sixth at Harlaw Park as Inverurie Locos face one of only two unbeaten sides left in the league in Nairn County. Eric Watson misses out through suspension, while Neil McLean and Johnny Smith are also unavailable.
Nairn boss Ronnie Sharp has the same squad to choose from who recorded a superb win over Brora last weekend.
Strathspey Thistle v Lossiemouth
Strathspey play Lossiemouth at Seafield Park, and they will have Aiden Hersee and Ross Naismith back in the squad.
Lossie welcome back Ryan Stuart, Ross Elliott and Trevor Dear, while new signing from New Elgin Michael Weir is also added to the squad. Liam Archibald misses out and Scott Wilson, Niall Kennedy and Dean McCall are out injured.
Turriff Utd v Fraserburgh
Turriff take on league leaders Fraserburgh at The Haughs as boss Kris Hunter faces his old side. The likes of Michael Ironside and Dylan Stuart will be pushing for recalls to the side who were beaten at Keith last time out.
Fraserburgh are in brilliant form and moved three points clear at the top of the table after putting six past Fort William last weekend. Jamie Begrie misses out today as he is still offshore, while long-term injury victims Ryan Christie, Gary Harris, Cameron Buchan and Ryan Sargent remain out.
