Ebbsfleet v Wrexham

Ebbsfleet boss Liam Daish will ring the changes against a goal-shy Wrexham on Tuesday after steering his side to safety on Saturday afternoon.

The Fleet moved up to 54 points after recording a 2-0 win against Weymouth at Wessex Stadium over the weekend and Daish now has the chance to rest some weary legs after a punishing fixture schedule.

However, striker Kezie Ibe is expected to keep his starting berth after bagging a first-half goal against the Terras.

Daish will hand late fitness tests to striker Michael Gash and midfielder Derek Duncan.

Wrexham boss Dean Saunders will also make enforced changes in midweek but for very different reasons.

Saunders' toothless attack failed to find the back of the net again on Saturday as they slumped to a third successive defeat.

"Once again I will give a few more players a chance at Ebbsfleet," Saunders told the Evening Leader.

"I needed to look at Jamie McCluskey and see what he has got to offer and I tried a different formation to see how that looked.

"But Kettering are a big strong team and they knocked the ball on and used their power and strength to keep it in our half.

"We had more of the ball than them, we just did not score enough goals.

"I am really getting fed up of losing games 1-0. We have been trying our best to resolve the situation but obviously Marc Williams and Matt Jansen getting injured has hit us in that department.

"And nobody else has stepped up to the plate and nicked a few goals for us."
