Ebbsfleet v York City

A resurgent Ebbsfleet will aim to record an upset when they host third-placed York City at Stonebridge Road on Saturday.

Liam Daish's 18th-placed charges had strung three league wins together before going down to Histon last Tuesday and will be hoping to put one over the heavily-favoured Minstermen.

In team news, the Fleet have no fresh injuries while midfielder Gavin Heeroo has recovered from a whiplash injury and looks set for a place on the substitutes bench.

York, meanwhile, are in great form as they have won ten of their last 11 league games leaving them just four points behind leaders Stevanage but with a game in hand.

Club boss Martin Foyle believes the input of centre-back Luke Graham and midfield anchor Levi Mackin has had a profound effect on their fortunes.

"It is no coincidence that since Levi Mackin came back in and Luke Graham broke into the side, we have become strong defensively and we haven't lost in the league," he said on The Press website.

"Things could change quickly, though, if one of them got a knock as Alex Lawless and Neil Barrett have both found out.

"Nobody's place is guaranteed," he added.

Foyle will have a full squad to pick from as midfielder Adam Smith has recovered from illness.

Richard Pacquette and Michael Gash, who both played in the County Cup in midweek, should also feature.
