Crawley Town will be the first visitors of the new month at Kenilworth Road with the Red Devils looking to continue their solid start to the season.
With the opening day 4-0 defeat at the hands of Mansfield Town the only dropped points so far this season, Crawley could prove a tough test for Mick Harford's men.
Obviously a huge positive for the Town will be that Mansfield Town shipped four goals themselves when they came to Kenilworth Road - surely a fact that won't have gone unnoticed by Crawley boss Steve Evans.
However, with the exception of the opening day the Red Devils have proved a difficult side to break down, conceding just one more goal since the four against the Stags, so Craddock and company will have to have their shooting boots on.
Last season's ninth place finish will surely be the benchmark for Steve Evans' side particularly given they suffered a mid-season dip in form last time round so their positive start to this campaign will have the Red Devils eager to stay in Play-Off contention.
Frenchman Thomas Pinault will certainly be one to watch for the Town. In him Crawley have a central midfield player who makes the whole team tick, whilst not a regular on the scoresheet it has often been said that "when he plays well, Crawley play well".
Crawley's Jamie Cook will be another the Hatters' defence will need to play close attention to as the 30-year-old has already found the net three times this season and will be aiming to better the 13 goals he scored during the last campaign.
With six points up for grabs before the Red Devils come to visit, the Blue Square Premier could look hugely different by then, but the form of the two sides suggests that they may well be as close then as they are now.

Recent history:
If Hatters fans think they are well versed in the teachings of points deductions then spare a moment for the Crawley faithful as the 2008/09 saw the club deducted points for the fourth season in succession.
After winning promotion to the Conference as Southern League Champions in 2004 their first experience of points deductions came at the end of the 2005/06 campaign when they were docked of three points for breaching the annual players' budget.
At the beginning of the following season the Red Devils were close to going into liquidation but an 11th hour rescue bid enabled them to start the campaign but at a cost of going into administration and with it a deduction of 10 points.
However a flying start to the season wiped out their deficit and the West Sussex side were able to finish a creditable 18th
In 2007/08 the club were hit with a six point penalty for financial irregularities and last season Steve Evans' side were deducted one (originally four, reduced on appeal) for fielding an ineligible player but still managed to finish ninth - the best in their history.
FACT: The club have been deducted 20 points over the past four seasons.
