TEAM NEWS - GILLINGHAM

Mark Stimson has no fresh injury concerns with defensive trio Barry Fuller (broken nose), Simon King and Garry Richards (both ankle) the only absentees.

CURRENT FORM:

Last week's excellent 2-1 home win over high flying Southampton pushed the Gills to 50 points for the season but they still require one more point to be absolutely certain of League One safety. Mark Stimson's men sit 19th in the table with a two point lead over rivals Tranmere and Exeter. With a 17 goal difference separating them from Tranmere, a point would see the Gills safe.

SQUAD FROM:

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

TEAM NEWS - WYCOMBE

Manager Gary Waddock has few selection issues ahead of the weekend's fixture. Striker Alex Revell is ruled out after completing his emergency loan while fellow forward Stuart Beavon sadly broke his leg earlier this week.

Captain Adam Hinshelwood is out with a knee injury as is former Gills defender Leon Johnson, while Ian Westlake is sidelined with an ankle injury.

On loan defender Alan Bennett could return though along with full-back Julian Kelly who has shaken off a hamstring strain.

CURRENT FORM:

Despite a storming late run which had seen them lose just once in nine outings, the Chairboys were consigned to relegation by last week's defeat at Leyton Orient. Gary Waddock's men will not want to go down without a fight and are sure to be stiff opposition for the Gills.

SQUAD FROM:

Scott Shearer, Lewis Hunt, Craig Woodman, Luke Oliver, Dean Keates, Matt Harrold, Matt Bloomfield, Steve Arnold, Stuart Green, Jon-Paul Pitman, Lewis Montrose, Matt Phillips, Lewwis Spence, John Mousinho, Joe Cobb, Tom Heaton, Chris Westwood, Dan Fitchett, George Daly, Kevin McLeod, Kevin Betsy, Kadeem Harris, Gareth Ainsworth, Julian Kelly.
