GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET could go top of the Ryman League, Premier Division, tonight if they beat Hendon at Stonebridge Road and results go their way elsewhere.

The Fleet have made a confident start to the season and are only one point behind current pace-setters Braintree Town, who face a tough trip to Chesham United tonight.

Hendon come into the game on the back of three league defeats on the bounce but Gravesend boss Andy Ford is fully aware how difficult the match will be.

The Fleet have picked up only five points from their first four home games this season and Ford will be desperate to improve on that.

Elliott Martin comes into the Gravesend squad while on-loan goalkeeper Adrian Blake keeps his place in the side after an impressive debut against Hampton & Richmond Borough on Saturday.

Gravesend: Blake, (from) Lee, Skinner, Lye, Barnett, Duku, Smith, Owen, Wilkins, Stadhart, Jackson, Hatch, Booth, Planck, Martin.
