Lincoln City will play their first game since securing promotion on Easter Monday against Leyton Orient as they look to get three points closer to the title.
The Imps managed to grasp promotion to the EFL Championship – England’s second division – for the first time in 65 years on Monday.
A late goal from substitute Jack Moylan after a Lewis Wing equaliser in the 92nd minute clinched the vital three points for Saturday’s hosts – putting their points total to 90.
Also, City’s unbeaten run of games now extends to 24, which could be 25 if they can get past relegation fighting Orient.
This game will be an early 12:30pm kick off and shown live on Sky Sports + alongside fellow title rivals Cardiff City who are at home in a massive game against third place Bolton Wanderers.
Lincoln’s next objective is now to clinch the SkyBet League One title which can be done if they get six points out their last five games.
Richie Wellens’ O’s won’t be an easy opponent for the Imps as they look to secure League One status for next season.
Orient currently find themselves just four points from the drop-zone, sitting in 15th place only on goal difference as they are equal on points with the two teams below them – AFC Wimbledon and Doncaster Rovers.
Last time out, they suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Huddersfield Town, after the Terriers secured two late goals, their second coming in the 106th minute of the game.
Although the Imps may be favourites to many, when the two sides clashed earlier in the season at the BetWright Stadium in London, Orient ran out 1-0 winners.
Their squad consists of the leagues top goal scorer Dom Ballard who has put in 21 goals in the League One campaign for Leyton Orient.
Lincoln’s top goal scorers are Jack Moylan and Reeco Hackett who both sit on nine goals in the league campaign.
Imps Head Coach Michael Skubala feels there may be a bit of a party at the LNER Stadium over the weekend following the Easter Bank Holiday successes.
Skubala said: “I feel as though there’s going to be a bit of a party atmosphere.
“They’ll be a few smiley faces in the crowd, but I’ve always said it’s for the fans to enjoy.
“It’s always been the fans dream, and hopefully we’ve made some dreams come true, but now let’s dream about the title and let’s keep pushing.”
In terms of players, attacker Rob Street says that the club’s eyes are now focused on winning the league title.
He said: “We want to go one step further.
“We’re in a really good position to do that. It would be silly to be here now and settle for what we have.
“We’re looking forward to hopefully carry on our form going into the last few games of the season.”
