Dover boss Chris Kinnear eyeing another big scalp on a crucial night in race for Vanarama National League play-offs

Dover boss Chris Kinnear is looking forward to another big challenge when they face Lincoln City at Crabble on Tuesday.

The game is one of five taking place in the Vanarama National League, with all but one of them involving sides chasing a place in the play-offs.

Dover start the game seventh, three points and three places above their opponents.

The other key fixtures see Braintree (fourth) at home to Gateshead (ninth), Eastleigh (eighth) hosting Bromley, while Grimsby, six points clear in third, travel to Guiseley.

Kinnear said: "Lincoln coming here after Tranmere is another big game and we all enjoy challenges like this.

"We are happy with where we are in the league, and who knows where this season is going to take us."

Dover will look to complete the double over the visitors, having won 3-2 win at Sincil Bank in early January, Ricky Miller scoring twice.

Aswad Thomas (knee), Tyrone Sterling (hamstring), and Liam Bellamy (foot) are all a week or two away from returning to the squad, while skipper Jamie Grimes came off the bench late on against Tranmere, following his recent lay-off.

Kinnear added: " Once we get them all back, it is going to be difficult (picking a starting 11), but whoever goes out there, you have got to trust them."

Meanwhile defender Sam Magri is set to play for Malta under-21s against Montenegro in the European under-21 Championships next week.

Whites fans will once again be able to take advantage of the club's free beer offer in the Centre Spot from 6-7pm.

Home fans can claim one pint of Fosters per customer, per trip to the bar. As the match is segregated, this is only available to fans entering via the home turnstiles.
