Chelmsford City visit the Draper Tools Community Stadium, as the Hawks look to bounce back after two straight defeats on the road.

The Hawks enter the clash off the back of a tough 2-0 defeat to Ebbsfleet United. The side, who sit top of the league, went 1-0 up against the run of play when the ball dropped to Poleon in no-man’s-land and he could tap home into an empty net. This was proceeded, and followed, by relentless pressure from the Hawks were Faal could have had a couple of goals on his day. Bingham had a chance to double the lead early on but a dazzling stop from Sharman-Lowe denied him from the spot. Despite chances to equalise, the Fleet put the final nail in the coffin when Domi ran through the Hawks backline and squeezed an effort past Sharman-Lowe.

Chelmsford enter the clash in topsy turvy form themselves, with one win in their last five. On Saturday, they hosted Bath City. There were goals either side of the interval for the Romans, with Wilson scoring early and Smith blowing the sucker punch in the 87th minute, it was Bath who took home all three points. The Clarets did have a cup match on Monday, where they romped to a 4-0 victory.

In terms of team news, Danny Wright’s and Joash Nembhard’s three match suspensions kick in following their red cards against Taunton. Paul Rooney and Ben Shroll are doubts but may return in time for the clash. Chelmsford on the same Tuesday night also picked up two red cards, meaning Winfield and Ochieng are out of the clash.

Both sides will be looking for the points as they look to improve their league form.
