Belle Vue arrive on the crest of the wave, sitting just above chief contenders Peterborough and Reading.

The prospect of Jason Crump's personal dealings with Eastbourne's Nicki Pedersen is sure to attract spectators through the turnstiles.

However, the meeting will not be just a two-man show. With Dane Kenneth Bjerre, England international Simon Stead and former Eagles captain Joe Screen on the complement, the Aces seem certain to give the Eagles a tough time.

Eagles: 1 David Norris, 2 Edward Kennett, 3 Dean Barker, 4 (rider replacement for Adam Shields, 5 Nicki Pedersen, 6 Cameron Woodward, 7 Lewis Bridger.

Aces: 1 Kenneth Bjerre, 2 Joe Screen, 3 Simon Stead, 4 Tom P Madsen, 5 Jason Crump, 6 Phil Morris, 7 Tommy Allen.
