This evening sees the visit of AFC Sudbury to Rookery Hill, as The Blues seek to cement top position in the league, and defend their unbeaten start.

Danny Bunce is available for the match, before his ban starts following his dismissal at AFC Dunstable in the FA Cup match, whilst no other team news is currently available.

AFC Sudbury, managed by Nicky Smith will be looking to get their season on track following an indifferent start to the season, which has seen them win just one of their opening five league matches. Most recently, they lost at home to Harlow Town on Saturday when Rhys Henry pounced in injury time for the visitors. Creative midfielder and set-piece specialist Michael Shinn will miss the game through suspension. The ex-Dartford player received a red card in their match with Needham Market at the end of August.

Last season this fixture resulted in a share of the points in the final game of the season. Alex Osborn had given The Blues a first half lead, before James Baker equalised for the away side nine minutes from time.

Last night Heybridge Swifts moved into second place courtesy of a 2-1 at Tilbury, whilst Waltham Forest dropped a place to third, following their 2-1 defeat at Cheshunt. Other results saw Needham Market put seven past Great Wakering Rovers, and Thamesmead Town netting five against Potters Bar Town.

Kick off at Rookery Hill is 19:45
