After picking up their first win and three points last Saturday at Sunderland RCA, United are on their travels for their next Ebac Northern League Division 2 came. They go to Bedford Terrace, the home of Billingham Town.
But it's not Town they are facing but their tenants Yarm & Eaglescliffe F.C. who play their home games at the historic Billingham Ground. The Y & E have made a decent start to their campaign particularly at home.
After losing their opening day encounter 1 - 0 at Ryton they've bounced back in fine style with two convincing home wins. They beat Sunderland West End 3 - 1 and then followed that up last Saturday with a 5 - 0 crushing of NL new boys Grangetown Boys Club.
Top scorer last season was Tom Atkinson and he's already bagged three goals this season as Yarm look to push for the play-offs this season after narrowly falling short last campaign.
The two games last season between these sides ended in 1 - 0 wins for Yarm so United are looking to break two ducks in Tuesday night's encounter. Squad news sees two changes to the 16 that were named last Saturday.
Young midfielders Ben Gallagher and Kymani Severin have been added to the squad with Jude Anderson and Leo Fasuan dropping down to get valuable playing minutes in United's Reserves Wearside League clash at Willington on Wednesday.
