This will be the first meeting between the two sides in competitive competition.
The Hatters met Alfreton in a pre-season friendly at the start of last season with Nicky Law's side triumphing 3-0 at the Impact Arena.
Alfreton Town were formed in 1959 following the merger of Alfreton Miners Welfare and Alfreton United football clubs.
The club was admitted directly to the Central Alliance Division One (North) and progressed sufficiently in the first two seasons to gain entry to the re-formed Midland Counties League.
After holding the wooden spoon in 1961/62 Alfreton seldom looked back and took the Midland League title in 1969/70 after several near misses.
The triumph was repeated three years later and again in 1976/77. Further success came in the Northern Counties East League following the merger of the Midland and Yorkshire Leagues in 1982. They won the League Cup in season 1984/85 and were champions in 1986/87 before accepting a place in the newly formed First Division of the Northern Premier League for season 1987/88.
In the 1994/95 season, after leading the table for most of the season, the Reds missed out on promotion as they contrived to lose three of their last four matches. This disappointment was forgotten the following season when they finished runners-up to Lancaster City and were promoted to the Premier Division of the Northern Premier League for the first time ever.
A two-year tenure proved difficult and after escaping a return to UniBond Division One in the 1996/97 campaign, a downward spiral struck and successive relegations saw the club slip back into the Northern Counties (East) League at the end of the 1998/99 season.
The 2001/02 campaign saw Chris Wilder land unprecedented success as the Reds landed four trophies, including the Northern Counties (East) League Premier Division title.
Wilder departed to manage former club Halifax in the summer of 2002 but, in his first full season in charge, manager Dave Lloyd guided the Reds to a second successive championship when they lifted the 2002/03 UniBond League First Division title.
After a great start to the 2004/05 season in the new Conference North Division the Reds led the table until the turn of the year when a complete reversal in form saw them slide down the table to eventually finish 14th.
At the end of the 2004/05 season the club parted company with Lloyd and Gary Mills was installed as the first full time manager at the Impact Arena in the summer of 2005.
Despite sinking to the foot of the Conference North table a much improved run of form saw safety achieved well before the final day of the season with the Reds finishing 17th.
A 14th place finished followed in 2006/07 that saw Mills depart for Tamworth and Marcus Ebdon take control.
Nicky Law took over in June 2007 having had two highly successful seasons with Buxton and the new boss guided the club to a 16th place finish.
In 2008/09 the Reds finished third in Conference North and competed in the play-offs for the first time ever, narrowly losing out in the semi-finals against AFC Telford United.
A third place finish was achieved once more in 2009/10 but after reaching the play-off this time round, Fleetwood were the ones celebrating promotion.
But it was third time lucky last season that saw promotion clinched as Blue Square Bet North champions by a 10-point margin to ensure the Reds are nowcompeting at the highest level in their history.
