GRAVESEND & Northfleet manager Andy Ford is prepared to leave his team selection to the last possible moment as they play hosts to Nationwide Conference outfit Stalybridge Celtic in the FA Umbro Trophy on Saturday.

The Ryman League Premier Division leaders go into the tie with confidence sky high following an important 2-1 victory over Aldershot at Stonebridge Road in mid-week.

Centre-back Aaron Barnett is missing through suspension, but Nick Burton returns after a ban while Perry Spackman and Lee Hockey are added to the Fleet squad. Liam Hatch remains on loan at Ashford until the end of the month.

Gravesend: Turner, Coyle, Skinner, Lye, Burton, Duku, Owen, McKimm, Jackson, Wilkins, Booth, Smith, Martin, Lee, Spackman, Hockey.
