United will climb two places to eighth and be just a win away from the all-important Ryman Football League Division One South top five if they triumph away to second-bottom Three Bridges.

Darren Hare’s side will go into the match in pretty decent form having won four and drawn one of the last six matches, the first of which was a 3-2 victory in the reverse fixture.

Bridges have picked up four points from their last six outings, three of them against bottom club Godalming Town and the other against third-bottom Chatham Town.

Matt Bodkin will serve the final game of a three-match ban as United seek to continue their impressive record of scoring in every fixture so far this season.

Kick-off tonight is 7.45pm.
