Dover v Billericay

Jon Wallis and Jerahl Hughes both face fitness tests before runaway leaders Dover face Billericay in the Ryman League Premier Division at Crabble on Tuesday.

Wallis is rated doubtful, with a calf problem, while Hughes is troubled by a slight groin problem and is only given a "50-50" chance of being fit.

Frannie Collin (hamstring) and Alan Pouton (back) are both still out, and Dean Hill is suspended.

Player-Manager Andy Hessenthaler is set to name himself on the bench, although he has a tight calf.

There is some good news for the Whites, though, after striker Shaun Welford won his appeal against a three-match ban following his red card at Margate on January 3. Welford would have started his suspension, if he had lost his appeal, against Ashford Town (M'sex) on Saturday.

A win for Dover will put them 23 points clear and Hessenthaler said: "We need to keep the momentum going, but we are down on numbers, and will have to juggle the pack."
