Gateshead
Aldershot Town
Gateshead open December with an early kick off at 12:30pm against Aldershot Town at Gateshead International Stadium.
The Heed come into the final month of the year on the back of four points from a possible six in their last two outings against Southend United and Torquay United.
Mike Williamson’s men secured a 3-1 win over The Shrimpers last time out on home soil, before taking a point from Plainmoor last weekend thanks to Elliot Forbes’ equaliser.
Aldershot halted a three-game losing run at home to Southend last weekend, with Justin Amaluzor and Corey Jordan netting in a 2-0 win.
The Shots currently sit 18th in the National League table, and have lost the most games (11) of any team outside of the bottom four as well as drawing the fewest (2) in the entire division.
Heed View
“I wouldn’t say there’s any pressure, obviously we want to win the game,” said assistant manager, Ian Watson.
“We’ve left no stone unturned, we’ve done a lot of detail on them as well as ourselves in trying to improve little things that we felt we lacked last week.”
Opposition View
“They’re a good footballing side, they’re a side not to be taken lightly,” said Aldershot’s interim manager, Ross McNeilly.
“Coming off the back of Southend we’re going to be going there with a real positive mindset and focusing on getting the job done.”

Greg Olley is set to miss Saturday’s game due to injury, while Carl Magnay and Kamil Conteh will both serve one-match suspensions after accumulating five yellow cards.
Robbie Tinkler is in contention to return from injury, and could make the squad for the first time since October 18.
