TEAM NEWS - GILLINGHAM

Mark Stimson has the rare luxury of being able to name an unchanged side after the Gills came through a bruising encounter with Huddersfield unscathed, last weekend.

Striker Chris Dickson has made a full recovery from the calf injury which kept him on the subs bench last Saturday so defenders Simon King (ankle ligaments) and Barry Fuller (broken arm) are the club's only absentees.

CURRENT FORM:

Last weekend's 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town saw the Gills remain 18th in League One but increased their cushion over the sides in the relegation zone to five points. Doubtless Mark Stimson would love a repeat of the match between the two sides at krbs Priestfield in December which saw Gillingham run out 3-1 winners with goals from Dennis Oli, Febian Brandy and John Nutter.

SQUAD FROM:

Alan Julian, Simon Royce, John Nutter, Josh Gowling, Tom Wynter, Garry Richards, Darren Dennehy, Kevin Maher, Jack Payne, Mark Bentley, Curtis Weston, Stuart Lewis, Danny Jackman, Adam Miller, Rashid Yussuff, Chris Palmer, Simeon Jackson, Chris Dickson, James Walker, Andy Barcham, Luke Rooney, Dennis Oli, Rene Howe.

TEAM NEWS - STOCKPORT COUNTY

County Manager Gary Ablett has a number of injury concerns ahead of the weekend's fixture. On loan winger Jemal Johnson is a doubt as he bids to shrug off a hamstring strain, while captain Johnny Mullins also missed last week's defeat at Charlton with an ankle injury.

Midfielder David Poole also misses out as he serves the second match of a two game ban after seeing red in the recent defeat to Bristol Rovers.

CURRENT FORM:

The Hatters remain six points adrift at the bottom of League One and have endured a nightmare season although recent weeks have seen an upturn in fortunes for the club with victories over fellow relegation strugglers Wycombe and Exeter. Their could be better news off the pitch for County today as they wait to hear if the football league will rubber-stamp a bid from the Melrose Group to take the club out of administration.

SQUAD FROM:

Owain Fon Williams, John Mullins, Paul Turnbull, Richie Partridge, Paul Huntington, James Vincent, Greg Tansey, Jabo Ibehre, Jemal Johnson, Paul Gerrard, Adam Griffin, Matty Mainwaring, Danny Pilkington, Andy Halls, Declan Edwards, Gianluca Havern, Craig Roberts, Daneil Rowe, Lloyd Rigby, Danny Swailes, David Perkins, Sam Barnes, Louis Barnes, Tom Fisher, Matty Kosylo, James Disney, Cameron Darkwah, Mat Sadler, Sam Hare, Sean Williams, Reiss Lee, George Donnelly.
