GRAVESEND & Northfleet will be hoping to move back to the top of the Ryman League's Premier Division when they face current pace-setters Braintree Town at Stonebridge Road on Saturday. Fleet, who beat Dartford in the FA Cup last weekend, were leapfrogged in the league table by Braintree after the Essex club defeated Hampton & Richmond by three goals to two last Saturday.

Andy Ford's side now have the perfect opportunity to regain top spot and, at the same time, put behind them their last league game - a 2-0 defeat at Grays. The Fleet boss admitted: "It's definitely another tough one but we're confident of getting the right result."

Gravesend will almost certainly be without the injured pair of Paul Booth (knee) and Justin Skinner (hamstring) while Matt Lee is suspended.

Squad (from): Blake, Martin, Lye, Barnett, Duku, Smith, Owen, Wilkins, Stadhart, Jackson. Rocastle, Rose, Hatch, Turner, McKimm
