Gills' home record to be tested by rivals

Gillingham v Brentford
Gillingham's impressive home record will be put under severe scrutiny when fellow-promotion hopefuls Brentford visit Priestfield on Saturday.
The Gills have lost just once in League 2 at home in 10 games and only conceded five goals and manager Mark Stimson is hoping the good times continue at Priestfield.
"We’ve been outstanding at home, only Shrewsbury are better and we’re proud of that," he said.
"We’ll have to be on the ball on Saturday because we want to keep up our record. Brentford can cause us problems and they have some decent front runners with the likes of Charlie McDonald and Nathan Elder up front."
The Gills currently sit ninth in League 2 but are just three points off second-placed Bury.
Stimson will be forced into making a rare change to his starting line-up as Adam Miller serves a one-match ban after accumulating five bookings.
He is likely be replaced by Gary Mulligan.
