The National League drama reached a fever pitch in midweek and threatens go even higher when Robbie Savage and Mark Hughes' sides meet in the late kick-off.
York City grabbed the headlines with their midweek win over Hartlepool United, with Josh Stones' 113th-minute winner ensuring the Minstermen kept pace with high-flying Rochdale.
Five of the bottom eight also picked up points across Tuesday and Wednesday night, meaning that it remains incredibly tight at the bottom heading into the business end of the season.
The top two face potentially tricky away tests this weekend, but the headline clash comes from the New Lawn Stadium as Forest Green Rovers and Carlisle United collide.

While it is the managers who grab the headlines ahead of kick-off, this is a contest between two of the biggest clubs in the division and two genuine promotion contenders.
Savage was managed by Hughes while playing for Wales and both men have ties to Manchester United, but now there is another strand to add to their relationship.
Forest Green's boss has been strongly linked with the vacant Blackburn Rovers hotseat - a position which was held by Hughes almost 20 years ago.
Robbie Savage's side were narrowly beaten by Rochdale on Wednesday night, while Carlisle overcame promotion rivals Scunthorpe United in a classic on Tuesday evening.
Only three positions and four points separate the two teams prior to kick-off, as both sides appear destined for a play-off place come the end of the season.
Forest Green and Carlisle were both involved in gripping encounters in midweek, but they will have differing feelings heading into this crunch tie.

When you watch York City, you are guaranteed goals and drama and there promises to be more of that when the Minstermen travel to Wealdstone on Saturday afternoon.
Stuart Maynard's men must have thought they had blown it when Charlie Caton equalised for Hartlepool United in the 97th minute, only for Stones to clinch it right at the death.
That victory means that York kept pace with the Dale at the top and remain two points behind their title rivals, having played a game more.
Wealdstone were edged out by bottom half side Altrincham in midweek, but have shown that they are capable of mixing it with the big boys this season.
Sam Cox's side currently sit in mid-table but will want to extend their seven-point gap on the relegation zone for good measure.
Two teams who have been involved in some goal fests of late, Eastleigh and Boreham Wood, could provide fireworks when they meet at Silverlake Stadium.
Scott Bartlett's men came from two goals down to defeat Solihull Moors 3-2 on Tuesday night to secure their first win since December.
That result elevated the Spitfires up the table to 15th and they now have a six-point gap on the drop zone.
Boreham Wood ended a run of four league games without a win by beating Yeovil Town in midweek thanks to Aaron Henry's 92nd-minute winner at the Mangata Developments Stadium.
While the National League title appears out of reach for Luke Garrard's side, they will want to gather some momentum ahead of a likely play-off campaign.
