Worcester City v Fisher

Worcester City prepares to face Fisher Athletic in their second Blue Square South fixture in a matter of days.

City produced a memorable comeback from 2-0 down to earn a share of the spoils with Braintree Town at St George's Lane on Saturday and will be hoping to go one better by claiming all three points on Monday.

But with options limited upfront after Mark Owen's defection to Evesham United and captain Craig Wilding serving the third of his three-match suspension, boss Richard Dryden will be looking for an all round team effort.

Striker Matt Dinsmore scored the first of City's goals on Saturday from the penalty spot while defender Ollie Barnes popped up with a late winner.

Dinsmore is likely to be once again paired upfront with Marco Adaggio while new recruit Rob Davies will take up his place on the right of midfield after a solid debut in place of the injured Matt Dodd.

Fisher did the double over Basingstoke Town with back-to-back Setanta Shield and League wins this past week but have suffered a lack of consistency this season and find themselves struggling at the wrong end of the table.

Manager Wayne Burnett has no injury worries ahead of the tie and will be looking to Ivorian midfielder Sosthene Yao and the likes of Jones Awuah, who inspired the second half fight back on Tuesday, to impose themselves at the Lane on Monday night.

The clubs were due to play last Saturday but a torrential downpour an hour before kick off meant the clubs were forced to re-arrange the fixture.
