Ian Watson takes his side to Macclesfield having only dropped two points from their five games on their travels this season.
Macclesfield know they could be back in the top seven with a win.
Only one other side can finish the day top of the pile but AFC Fylde know it'll take a repeat of their 5-0 rout of Spennymoor on Tuesday if they are to do it - Hereford are in town next.

Radcliffe have made joint-boss Anthony Johnson 'dead pleased' of late after going six unbeaten.
King's Lynn Town are up next who haven't won a National League North game since the last weekend in August.
Alfreton Town make the short trip to Derbyshire neighbours Buxton while avoiding defeat at Curzon Ashton could see Peterborough Sports lift themselves off the bottom.
Bedford Town know they're up against it heading to Chester who have gone over a year unbeaten at the Deva.
Can Scarborough nip their blip in the bud after back-to-back defeats conceding four goals? Marine will hope not.
Chorley weathered the Southport storm midweek despite a last-minute panic between the sticks. The Magpies are four without a win with Merthyr Town next up.
Darlington host Southport while Worksop Town head to AFC Telford United fresh from their two-goal fightback against King's Lynn on Tuesday.
