Bluebirds are facing the Swifts
Chippenham Town are strengthened by the return of full back Ashley Williams and midfielder Iain Harvey from suspension for their FA Trophy second qualifying round game at struggling Ryman premier division Heybridge Swifts.
Kevin Halliday has recovered from flu and Dave Pratt, who faces a late fitness test on his knee injury, will be back to strengthen manager Adie Mings squad as they go all out for a victory which is worth £3,000 to the winners.
But they are still without Sam Allison who has a back injury, Scott Lye (knee), Steve Casey (groin) and Ross Adams, who is suspended.
Chippenham Town (from): Snoddy, Williams, Belle, Halliday, Gullick, Bryan, Gardiner, Holly, Harvey, Pratt, Seavill, Slack, Sercombe, Kemp.
Yate Town are without central defender Marcus Mapstone, who has a hamstring injury and David Anyinsah, who suffered a setback which has ruled him out of today's home game against Bashley who knocked Mangotsfield United out in the previous round.
There is also a doubt over midfielder Darren Hawkins, who had to be substituted in last Saturday's 4-2 home defeat against Rugby Town and Monday's 3-1 GX League Cup victory at Paulton Rovers with a groin problem.
Yate Town (from): Matthews, Vahid, Brice, Jefferies, Stanley, Hawkins, Chenoweth, Beadle, Metheringham, Blakemore, Whittington, Reid, Griffiths, McCootie, Davidge.
Gloucester City have a doubt over defender Marc Richards, who suffered a dead leg playing for Hartbury College in midweek and faces a late fitness test before their game at East Thurrock, who occupy fifth place in the Ryman League Division One North.
Striker Will Mawford, who has been pushing for a place in the starting line up with some good performances when coming on as a substitute, may get his wish as manager David Mehew is considering changes in the front line.
Gloucester City (from): Sawyer, Sysum, Hamblin, Richards, Marshall, Ballinger, Smith, Webb, Rose, J Harris, Syles, Pitcher, Mawford, A Harris, Twyman, Nash, James.]
Swindon Supermarine are hit by suspensions and injuries for their home game against Maidstone United.
Lee Henry is serving the last of a four-game ban, Joe Harris is also banned, while Mark Draycott has a one game ban with Enoch Boateng (knee) and Ryan O'Hara (calf) ruled out.
Swindon Supermarine (from): Allen, Bullman, Cook, Edebrough, Griffin, Hopper, Horgan, Howell, Lapham, McKay, Stanley, Taylor, Thompson, Wood.
Mangotsfield United manager Paul Milsom and his assistant Spencer Thomas will meet the directors on Monday to discuss their futures.
"We had a chat with Mike Richardson, Chris Stone and Roger Gray after Tuesday's game against Clevedon Town and agreed a meeting with the full board for Monday evening so that we can sort things out," Milsom said.
