Divisions 2 & 3 focus

3pm tomorrow, Boundary Park

Away ticket info: £16 (£8 concs); pay at turnstiles only Last season: 2 (F Hall, Duxbury) 1 (O'Connor) Referee: Nigel Miller (Tyne & Wear) Facts: Leo Roget's red card in the defeat at Plymouth on Sunday was his second dismissal this season Standout bet: Ernie Cooksey to score first goal: 16-1 (Bet365)

Despite his red-and-white attire, Santa Claus decided to give Brentford a miss this Christmas. Wally Downes' side were gifted no points during the season of goodwill and the two cards that defender Leo Roget did receive - ending in his sending off at Plymouth last week - were most unwelcome.

Verdict: SAD TIDINGS FOR BEES

QPR v Rushden & Diamonds

3pm tomorrow, Loftus Road

Tickets: £17-£24 (£9-£12 concs). Tel. 0870 112 1967 Referee: Alan Butler (Nottinghamshire) Facts: Tony Thorpe's goal against Colchester on Sunday took his tally to 12 for the season Standout bet: Rangers win: 4-7 (Bet365, Blue Sq, S James)

As the Sound Of Music and Steve McQueen's motorcycle jump are wheeled out for yet another TV screening, Ian Holloway will be hoping the outbreak of repeats is not contagious. His side surrendered a 3-1 lead at Nene Park to draw 3-3 in August and a similar capitulation would hit the title push.

Verdict: DIAMONDS CRUSHED

L Orient v Darlington

3pm tomorrow, Brisbane Road

Tickets: £12-£16 (£7-£10 concs). Tel. 020 8926 1010 Last season: 2 (Hutchings, Nugent) 1 (Conlon) Referee: Steve Tomlin (E Sussex) Facts: Orient have won five of their 11 games against teams from the bottom half of the table. Tom Newey's red card against Oxford was Orient's ninth of the season Standout bet: Home win for Orient: 4-5 (Stan James)

Few clubs give Orient fans a superiority complex, but Darlington are definitely one. Second bottom of the Football League; club in administration, ground under threat and their New Year's fixture forces fans to make a 14-hour round trip to east London.
