Gloucester City will be looking to climb out of the relegation zone with an away trip to fellow strugglers Farsley Celtic on Saturday.
Despite a resurgence in December, Lee Mansell’s side have dropped in form, and subsequently also in the table.
Gloucester’s recent goalscoring record makes for grim reading for the City faithful, who will once again be expected to travel in decent numbers up to West Yorkshire to spur on their side.
New signing Dylan Barkers is unavailable for the trip with his loan move subject to FA clearance, however Bernard Mensah is back to full fitness.
Fabien Robert is expected to be back available for selection after a minor injury while captain Kevin Dawson returns from suspension.
Ben Gerring was forced off early against Brackley Town with a nose injury after breaking it the previous week, however this isn’t expected to keep him out of the starting line-up.
An Ollie Hulbert brace was the difference between the two sides back in November, with both clubs picking up just two wins each since then.
The importance of this game cannot be emphasised enough for Mansell and his players, as a defeat could see City drop to the very bottom of the table.
Having been appointed less than two weeks ago following the departure of Neil Ross, new Celtic manager Russ Wilcox will take charge of his second game on Saturday, after a 3-3 draw to Chorley last week.
The game will get underway at three-o’clock on Saturday at The Citadel in Leeds.
