Ilkeston will be looking for an 8th straight win against todays opponents. They will also be looking to avenge a controversial 3-1 defeat at Studley in October.
Studley were top of the league early in the season and were seven points clear of Walsall Wood at 31st October 2017 but since then their form has dipped alarmingly and they have slipped to mid table. They haven't won a league match since 30 December 2017. Their record since then is no wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.
This will be Ilkeston's fourth match in eight days whereas Studley last game was March 26th.

Live Updates from the NMG will commence at 3pm.

First corner to Ilkeston after Walkers shot hits a defender. Studley scramble it away. 5 minutes gone and no real chances yet

Matchman · 07/4/2018 1:16 PM

Marshall then Morris have shots blocked in quick succession as Ilkeston pile forward. Studley defender does brilliantly to clear off line when racing back.

Matchman · 07/4/2018 1:18 PM

Bad foul by Studley player brings Deakin out of his goal. Its a red card.

Studley down to ten players on 18 minutes

Matchman · 07/4/2018 1:27 PM

Nearly an own goal by Studley defender then Morris volleys over. Tom Marshall finds space for a shot but it's too high. still no score 26 minutes

Matchman · 07/4/2018 1:38 PM

Walker long shot whistles past the upright. Good move down left side by Ilkeston. Brave keeping by Young under challenge from Hopkinson. It's all Ilkeston but they can't find a way through 0-0 37 minutes

Matchman · 07/4/2018 1:40 PM

Closest yet! Bennet crosses and Alex Marshall header hits the bar 40 minutes

Matchman · 07/4/2018 1:46 PM

Excellent turn and cross by Walker but no one on the end of it. Has to be said Studley are defending well under constant pressure. Faiclough fires over and fans are getting frustrated.
It's half time and scoreless.

Corner to Ilkeston. Shaw has a go but it's blocked. Marshall wins a corner and its cleared. Long period of possession by Ilkeston but no end product. 0-0 55 minutes

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:18 PM

Ilkeston need a goal soon. Walker fires over. Studley have everyone back defending. Keeper, Young, is dealing with everything coming his way and he's wasting all the time he can.

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:20 PM

Chance for Ben Fairclough but he can't quite hit the target. 65 minutes still 0-0

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:24 PM

That's the third time in five minutes that Studley have kicked the ball out of the ground. Hopkinson gets his head on Tom Marshall's cross but it's over the bar. Again Studley kick the ball out of the ground.. Oldfield replaced by King0n 68 minutes

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:29 PM

Studley are holding on and Ilkeston are being frustrated. Two amazing saves by Young. Then another save from Walker. Gate 491.

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:36 PM

Studley player receiving lengthy treatment for injury.

Fairclough replaced by White. Morris shot blocked. GOAL at last Hopkinson heads in from corner.
Studley not happy because they disputed the corner 10 minutes left 1-0.

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:40 PM

Ilkeston so close to second on two occasions. Don't know how the ball stayed out. It's still all Ilkeston as we look for a second goal. 84 minutes 1-0

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:44 PM

Ilkeston are keeping the ball but the crowd don't like it. They want another goal. 3 minutes left

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:48 PM

Late chance for Studley but offside flag is up. Now free kick to Studley but Deakin collects. We're into added time

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:52 PM

Alex Marshall gets yellow. Lucky let off for Ilkeston as Studley shot hits a defender.

There's the whistle to end the match ILKESTON 1 STUDLEY 0

Matchman · 07/4/2018 2:54 PM

Terrific effort by Studley's ten men but they couldn't quite hold out.
