Gateshead
Solihull Moors
Solihull Moors make the journey to Tyneside on Saturday at 3pm looking to build on their midweek win, while Gateshead will be looking to put right their midweek misstep.
Both teams saw four goals in their midweek games. Solihull put four past Truro on Wednesday night, Gateshead conceding four at York. However, the mood should still be high at the GIS, this time last week Armstrong’s men pulled off a cup upset to see the Heed land a home tie against Walsall.
With a stronger squad now too with injured players returning, playing Solihull at home could be the springboard needed after a positive week to recapture form at home and in the league.
Solihull Moors have a record in the last five of two losses, two wins and one draw and sit just two places above the Heed in the table. Both teams have only one nil-nil match this season, Saturday should see the goals flow as both teams look for a very helpful three points.
Team News
Kenton Richardson, George Shelvey and Tyrelle Newton remain unavailable for selection through injury.

Gateshead fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Solihull Moors, after two late goals from Chris Millington’s side.
Alun Armstrong rang in the changes from Wednesday night’s defeat at York City with Joe Grayson, Fenton John and Frank Nouble all returning to the starting 11.
Kian Pennant, on loan from Leicester City, also made the cut – the youngster’s first start in the National League.
Chances were few and far between in the first half, with Nouble’s wayward strike creating the first sense of danger but falling off target.
On the half hour, Kain Adom’s cross was flicked onto John at the back post, who forced a low save from Solihull keeper Laurie Walker at full stretch.
Nouble hit the side netting on the brink of half-time, with the teams going into the break goalless.
The second half jumped up a gear, with Tiernan Brooks making a low save to deny Conor Wilkinson, while Pennant came close at the other end.
The Heed were dealt blows when Callum Johnson and Grayson were forced off with injuries, however they came close to taking the lead on 69 minutes with a scramble in the Moors box.
The deadlock was eventually broken by Moors on 75 minutes, with Bradley Stevenson poking beyond Brooks following a scramble in the Gateshead area.
As the clock ticked down to 90, the Heed nearly found an equaliser as Kyle Hurst fired wide inside the Solihull box.
Seconds later though, Solihull made it two with another scramble, this time through substitute Jacob Wakeling.
And despite six minutes of added time, Gateshead couldn’t find a way back into the game and were handed their sixth home defeat of the season.
