Gillingham will be hoping to extend their current unbeaten run this Saturday when they face Walsall at krbs Priestfield Stadium, kick-off 3.00pm.

Gillingham's lengthy injury problems are finally starting to ease, Josh Gowling (groin) should return after missing the midweek trip to Hartlepool, while Curtis Weston (hip) and Danny Jackman (shoulder) are also in contention for a place in the squad.

The Gills reported no new injuries after the trip to Victoria Park so the only definite absentee is Simon King (ankle ligaments). The centre-half has returned from rehabilitation at Lilleshall and is hoping to get the all clear to resume jogging when he visits his specialist next week.

CURRENT FORM:

Mark Stimson's men are unbeaten in both of their previous two league outings, though a brace of draws leaves the Gills sitting 19th in the table. The match ended all square, 0-0, when the two sides met at the Bescot Stadium earlier in the season and Gillingham will fancy their chances of taking something from the game.

SQUAD FROM:

Alan Julian, Simon Royce, Simon Locke, Barry Fuller, John Nutter, Josh Gowling, Tom Wynter, Darren Dennehy, Garry Richards, Kevin Maher, Jack Payne, Mark Bentley, Curtis Weston, Stuart Lewis, Danny Jackman, Adam Miller, Rashid Yussuff, Chris Palmer, Simeon Jackson, Andy Barcham, Luke Rooney, Tristan Plummer, Dennis Oli, Mark McCammon, Jacob Erskine, Rene Howe, Luis Cumbers.
