The Seadogs travel to the North West to kick off 2026.
Scarborough Athletic go to Southport in National North on Saturday.
Boro are hoping to kick off 2026 with three points to maintain their play-off push.
Boss Jono Greening spoke to Paddy after Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Spennymoor:
" I think we're two points in the playoffs, so we've still got a game in hand. So loads of positives to take and yes, we want to play better. Yes, we want to be better out of possession in possession and we've got better players than what they're showing at the moment. Even though we've got loads of injuries, the players who are playing there better than what they're showing.
And it's our job to try and make and play better, but also their job to step over that white line and play better. And we know we can, which is the good thing. We know we can play much better and that's the main aim for Southport Away on Saturday is a better performance all around. And to try and get three points there."
There are still a number of injury concerns including defender Michael Duckworth and forward Richie Bennett, with others only available for the short bursts off the bench.
Greening praised fans for their support in County Durham in midweek, when they travelled in their hundreds and hopes they'll back his side again on Saturday:
"Yeah, absolutely. Amazing. Yeah, a few of them were chanting earlier on to us and, but listen, it's a call Tuesday night, just after Christmas. The money's tight. So all the support that we've been given tonight is absolutely incredible, and I'm sure they'll all come down and support us on Saturday as well."
Kick-off at Southport is 3pm.
