Gillingham are set to send a strong team to Faversham Town on Tuesday night for a friendly.

The Lilywhites came in at short notice to play the game after the original match against Phoenix Sports was cancelled on Monday.

Gills boss Steve Lovell has said he will include the likes of Gabriel Zakuani and Conor Wilkinson in his team to face the Bostik South side.

Lovell wants to see some of his senior players in action before making a decision on who he will pick to face Peterborough United at Priestfield on Saturday.

The Gills have picked up just one point from their last six League 1 matches and places are up for grabs.

Zakuani is fit again after a shoulder injury while Wilkinson is keen to get some minutes under his belt after being an unused sub at the weekend. Wilkinson has started just one league match this season.

Elliott List, Josh Rees, Navid Nasseri and Connor Ogilvie are also all expected to play.

“Everybody is up for selection on Saturday,” said Lovell, who has been left disappointed with his side in recent weeks.

“They have to prove to me that they deserve a starting place.

“There is not much wrong with us but I think it is just about a bit of tweaking and a lack of form by certain players.”

Kick off at Salters Lane is 7.45pm. Entry is £5 for adults and £3 concessions. It’s free admission for those aged 15 and under.

Town chairman Paul Bennett said: “Steve Lovell asked if we could play them at short notice. We have a great relationship with Gillingham and were happy to oblige.”
