GRAVESEND & Northfleet will be confident of closing the gap on Ryman League Premier Division leaders Canvey Island to five points when they travel to Heybridge Swifts on Saturday.

With their nearest rivals in action in the FA Cup, Andy Ford's side will be hoping to bounce back to winning form after their disappointing 2-2 draw at Chesham last weekend.

The Fleet, whose home game with Aldershot on New Year's Day was called off due to a frozen pitch, could be without Paul Booth due to injury with new signing Denver McKensey, Liam Hatch and Che Stadhart on standby.

Gravesend: Turner, Lee, Burton, Barnett, Lye, McKimm, Smith, Martin, Jackson, Wilkins, Duku, Hatch, Stadhart, McKensey.
