Salford City are five points clear at the top of the table and on an eight-match league winning streak, although they suffered a shock FA Cup first-round exit at fifth-tier Carlisle United last Saturday.
With six wins and one loss from their seven home games in the division this season, Salford They can be expected to overcome 21st-placed Northampton Town, who suffered a second successive defeat with a 4-0 defeat at fourth-tier York City a week ago.
Fourth ranked Crewe Alexandra they also have ample reason for confidence at home to 14th-placed Newport County.
Crewe have not lost any of their nine home games in all competitions this season and claimed a third win in their last four games at Gresty Road to knock third-tier Wimbledon out of the cup.
Newport are on a promising run after beating Chesterfield 4-1 and Walsall 3-1 in their last two games, but both were at home and are yet to win in eight away games in all competitions, although four of those competitions have ended in draws.
