Tower Hamlets currently six matches unbeaten in the division, but set for more tests this week
Sporting Bengal United will be aiming to halt their recent slump when they host Ilford at Mile End Stadium on Saturday.
Imrul Gazi’s team lost again in the Essex Senior League last weekend, this time against Enfield.
A poor first half saw them trail 3-0 at the break and although Bobby Redwood pulled one back for Bengal, they fell to another defeat and remain 21st in the table.
Bengal will hope to bounce back when Ilford visit, before they travel to Eton Manor next Wednesday (November 9).
