Worcester City are on the hunt for a third consecutive win this weekend to further distance themselves from danger at the bottom of the MFL Premier table.

Back-to-back victories away from home last week - 2-0 at Market Drayton Town and 1-0 at Bewdley Town - has seen City put four points between themselves and second-bottom Uttoxeter Town.

Chris Cornes' side also have a game in hand on Uttoxeter heading into this weekend's clash at Tividale, who themselves are struggling of late.

Tivi have won just one of their last eight and sit 16th in the league, but remain seven points ahead of City. But win this weekend and City can begin to target climbing the table rather than looking over their shoulders.

"We are on a nice little run at the moment and just starting to get our confidence back," said Cornes after last weekend's win at his former club Bewdley.

"Naturally, you still look over your shoulder a little bit but two results on the bounce is really good. The teams around us lost as well which helps.

"We are just trying to get a little more belief and confidence because we are still better than what we are showing. 

"But it will come. When I walked into the changing rooms (after Bewdley win) the lads were all buzzing, they are happy. It's nice to put two wins together."

In team news, striker Dylan Hart remains out of contention as he sits out his third and final match of his three-game suspension.

But as one suspension ends, another starts as City will also now be without centre-half Jordan Stoddart for the next three matches following his straight red card last weekend.

City are light on out-and-out centre halves, so could have to rely on midfielder Lorcan Sheehan to do a job at the back with captain Aaron Roberts in the meantime.

Cornes did hint at the possibility of bringing in a new signing in that department, but there has been no news on that front at this point on Friday.
