Sutton United travel to Tamworth on Wednesday evening for a key National League fixture, looking to build on a recent unbeaten run and improve their position in the standings. The match at The Lamb Ground kicks off at 7:45pm with Sutton sitting 10th in the table on 17 points, while opponents Tamworth occupy 22nd place.

Midfielder Teo Kurtaran is the player in focus for the U's ahead of the trip. The 24-year-old, who has made five appearances this season according to the club's squad page, said he is excited to return to the venue. "I’m excited to be back at The Lamb Ground and help the team get a result," Kurtaran told the club's media.

Kwaku Donkor also returns to face his former club, having joined Sutton from Tamworth on a permanent deal in January. The forward, who made his first-team debut in September 2023, expressed his commitment. "Returning to Sutton feels like coming home, and I’m ready to give everything for the U’s," Donkor said. Manager Steve Morison confirmed that the team has no new injury concerns ahead of the match, with the latest injuries report showing a clear bill of health for the travelling party.

Head-to-head history

Sutton are unbeaten in their two previous league visits to Tamworth, with a 1-1 draw and a 0-1 win. They have never scored more than one goal at The Lamb Ground, making this only their third ever trip there. The overall head-to-head record is evenly split with two wins each and one draw. The sides last met in January, when a late goal from substitute Davide Rodari secured a 0-1 away win for Sutton, a result that moved them out of the relegation zone at the time. This week's match is part of a busy schedule, with fans able to check all upcoming fixtures on the club website.

Sutton's form reads DDWLD from their last five games, following a dramatic 3-3 draw with Forest Green Rovers last time out. In that match, Sutton came from behind three times to earn a point, with key stats showing they had 15 attempts on goal. Tamworth, who are 22nd, have lost four of their last five, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Aldershot Town. For away supporters, the club has arranged coaches departing Gander Green Lane at 2:45pm, with an allocation of 750 terrace and 50 main stand tickets available. The turnstiles open at 6:30pm.
