Gillingham v Swindon Town

POPULAR former Gillingham player Iffy Onoura returns to Priestfield on Saturday as manager of visiting side Swindon Town.

Swindon lie just one place off the bottom of the League 1 table, six points behind the GIlls, but manager Ronnie Jepson is expecting them to be hungry to get one over the home side.

Jepson said: "[Iffy] will have them fired up. They're in a relegation battle. They'll come here and be in our faces."

Club captain Chris Hope (calf) and defender Ian Cox (Achilles) are doubts, while striker Paul Shields is trying to shake off a thigh injury.

Jepson will definitely have to do without Matt Jarvis, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
