All are injured and Bognor are likely to have only three subs, although Pompey pair Brad Lethbridge and Dan Smith are available.

Coach Robbie Blake feels it will be a harder game than Saturday's 3-2 loss at home to Tonbridge.

Blake laments killer penalty decisionRocks v Tonbridge - how it unfoldedHe said: "No disrespect to Tonbridge but I think this will be a tougher game. Earlier in the season we beat Merstham 3-1 at home but we could have got beaten, they were a very good team.

"I said to Jack then I couldn’t see them struggling. They’re a good outfit and I think they’re the form team in the division.

“As for us, we don’t know which Bognor team will turn up - whether it will be the one that won at Tonbridge and at Worthing, or the one that lost at home to Tonbridge and Enfield. We’ll find out.”
