Ebbsfleet United boss Daryl McMahon says focus is on FA Cup tie with Merstham, not possibility of glamour tie in Monday's first round draw

“Let’s try and win on Saturday first – that’s the key thing,” said McMahon.

Fleet will be without Sean Shields (hip) so McMahon is likely to name an unchanged side for a third successive game.
