Gravesend & Northfleet v Histon

GRAVESEND return to cup action on Saturday when they entertain Histon in the fourth round of the FA Trophy.

Speculation about the new manager at Stonebridge Road has been rife this week, with Margate boss Chris Kinnear's name heavily linked with the vacancy.

But captain Steve McKimm and Paul McCarthy will once again be in charge as the Fleet look to bounce back from last weekend's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Dagenham & Redbridge.

Gravesend are spoilt for choice in defence for the match. The club has four centre backs to choose from after Graham Porter's return from injury and Gary Richards joining the club from Colchester.

Meanwhile, Zeljko Popovic and Tom Davis have left the club. Popovic was released after his first team chances became limited and Davis made his loan deal at St Albans permanent.

Fleet must also decide whether to recall Matt Lovell from his month's loan at Welling United, which expires after the Wings' match at Weymouth on Saturday.
