Rochford Hundred have been boosted by the return of classy centre Mark Thomson and flanker Barry Eldred for their important home game with Brentwood.
Rochford have a single win to their name in London Three, but can give themselves some breathing space by beating Brentwood, who are one place and one point above them in seventh spot.
Basildon, in sixth spot, have an attractive game as fourth-placed Romford and Gidea Park are the visitors to Gardiners Close.
In London One, leaders Southend -- buoyed by last week's dramatic top-of-the-table win over Haywards Heath -- will be hoping to avoid a slip-up when they visit mid-table Cheshunt.
Thurrock can make it two wins in a row when they visit Twickenham --who are bottom of London Two without a victory.
Canvey have the chance to secure a morale-boosting victory when they visit Maldon for the battle of two winless Eastern Counties One side.
Defeat would see Maldon knock Canvey into bottom spot.
In the same division, there's a derby of sorts as Billericay meet Stanford-le-Hope in a match between two other struggling sides.
Top-of-the-table Westcliff face a tough test to hang on to the leadership of Eastern Counties Two South when they visit third-placed East London.
