Oxford United v Gravesend & Northfleet

MANAGER Liam Daish says his Gravesend & Northfleet players must embrace the occasion when they play Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.

Fleet go into the game on the back of a 2-1 win over Morecambe and lie fourth in the Nationwide Conference table.

Daish said: "There’ll be a big crowd. It is something that we can go out and enjoy. The onus is on Oxford.

"These are the types of games players want to play in, against the so-called bigger sides."

Mark Ricketts (ankle) is available while Jon Keeling (hamstring) is close to full fitness. Danny Slatter will miss the game through suspension.
