Stevenage Borough v Salisbury

Promotion hopefuls Stevenage Borough host Salisbury at Broadhall Way in Blue Square Premier action on Saturday afternoon.

Graham Westley's Boro have been in great form of late and currently find themselves sitting in second place on the league standings.

Westley is brimming with confidence ahead of the encounter and will be coming up against a Salisbury side that would be in the promotion mix but for a 10 point deduction due to them entering administration.

"We'll back ourselves to beat anyone on our day. They will be a tough side to beat but if we can perform to our potential then we should be fine," he told Boro's official website.

Despite the evident confidence in his side's ability, the manager is refusing to rule out the threat posed by an 'impressive' City side.

"They are flying at the moment," he said

"The league table tells a different story because of their points deduction but credit to them, they are putting in some fantastic performances and getting some wonderful results.

"I saw Tommy Widdrington the other night at Tamworth and he is travelling round the country, making sure that he gets to games, the team is playing for him and it's going to be a really tough proposition in front of us."

Boro are hopeful that Andy Drury will continue to recover from his injury and add to his recently accomplished displays.

Salisbury are set to be without on-loan Southampton defender Ryan Tafazolli, who will be serving a one match ban.

Despite picking up knocks in their win over York last week, the Whites are hopeful that Darrell Clarke, Rob Sinclair and Jamie Turley will all be fit for the crunch encounter at Broadhall Way.
