GRAVESEND & Northfleet can move to the top of the Ryman League, Premier Division, by beating Hampton & Richmond at Stonebridge Road tonight.

The Fleet are one point behind current pace-setters Canvey Island but, with one game in hand, they know if they win all of their remaining matches they will be playing Conference football next season.

Assistant boss Phil Handford said: “Hampton change their formation from week to week, which doesn't help us because we prefer to know what we're up against but we won't worry too much about them.

"Their lead position suggests they are beatable and we'll go out all guns blazing trying to get the three points. We need to win and we're confident we can get it.”

Gravesend, who have Justin Skinner suspended, will also have to compete without Eliot Martin after the midfielder was ruled out for the rest of the season with a hernia injury.

Two other players who won't figure in club boss Andy Ford's plans are strikers Derek Bryan and Warren Williams, who have both left the club after failing to force their way into the first team.

Gravesend (from): Turner, Lee, Burton, Barnett, Duku, McKimm, Owen, Smith, Jackson, Stadhart, Wilkins, Parker, Hatch, Booth.
