Canvey Island will be aiming to bounce back form Tuesday night's 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Gillingham when their Kent neighbours Gravesend and Northfleet are the guests at Park Lane.

Jeff King's men will be keen to get one over on their old Ryman Premier rivals.

The two sides were locked in a battle for a Conference place in the 2001/02 season but eventually it was former Southend United man Andy Ford's Fleet who won promotion to the non-League top flight.

Justin Edinburgh, meanwhile, leads his Billericay side into battle at New Lodge when Nationwide League outfit Leyton Orient visit tonight (7.45pm kick off).
