Margate v Dover

Goalkeeper David Wilkinson is poised to play his final game for Dover Athletic in the Ryman League Premier Division trip to strugglers Margate on Saturday.

The 22-year old is in his second spell on-loan at Crabble from Crystal Palace after boss Neil Warnock and Eagles goalkeeper coach Jim Stannard agreed to let him return.

Dover manager Andy Hessenthaler said: "We decided to bring David in for a month and he has done well. I know Neil well and he told me there was no problem but we always knew we wouldn’t be able to keep him."

Alan Pouton (hamstring) is close to a return after a lengthy spell out while defender Dean Hill is ruled out against Maragte as he starts a three-match ban after being sent-off against Tooting.

Ollie Schulz returns after missing the 3-0 Maidstone win due to a one-match ban.

Defender Curtis Robinson and striker Joe Healy are both expected to return to the Margate squad.

The pair were left out of the Margate team which lost 2-0 to Ramsgate at Southwood.

Striker Liam Harwood, who is on a one month loan deal from League 1 side Bristol Rovers, is set to start up-front.
