Ebbsfleet United v Torquay

EBBSFLEET UNITED manager Liam Daish insists his side cannot afford to show leaders Torquay United too much respect when the two sides go head-to-head in the Blue Square Premier at Stonebridge Road on Saturday.

Despite Torquay's strong start to the season Daish believes his side are a match for anyone.

He said: "You’ve got to give every team a certain amount of respect but we’ve also got to believe that we can win the game and get something."

Fleet go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Farsley Celtic.

Daish added: "We have got to go out and enjoy it more than we did last week. It will be a challenge for us and we will be the underdogs."

Michael Bostwick will serve a one-match suspension after picking up five yellow cards while striker Chukki Eribenne will miss the game with a hamstring injury.

Danny Slatter (knee), James Smith (double hernia) and Gary MacDonald (achilles) are all out.

Meanwhile, the kick-off time for Ebbsfleet's match against Droylsden on October 13 has been brought forward to 1pm to avoid a clash with England's Euro 2008 qualifying game against Estonia.
