When it comes to a team out of form then you can't beat Boreham Wood. The visitors to Purfleet haven't won since mid-November when defeating Aldershot.

Meanwhile their hosts are undefeated in their last six league games and moved up to sixth place and their highest position since the early weeks of the season.

Terry Howes and Victor Boyle Renner are back from their trip to Barcelona with the England beach soccer side, while also in contention for a starting place is Steve Brown after recovering from a shoulder injury.

Jamie Southon is a doubt after being stretchered off in the second-half at St Albans. His injury wasn't too serious but he did suffer a recurrence of a disk problem.

If the top two positions in the Premier now appear to be between Canvey and Gravesend, third is definitely up for grabs. And with Boreham Wood, in 17th position, the best placed of Fleet's next three opponents there's every opportunity for them to make their bid.
