PAULTON Rovers striker Robbie Claridge and skipper Dan Cleverley – both surprisingly on the bench for Saturday's drawn FA Trophy game against visiting Thatcham Town – are expected to return to the starting line up for tonight's replay.

"Robbie had a slight ankle problem so I decided to put him and Dan on the bench with this Saturday's FA Cup tie at Horsham in mind, but we created enough chances to have beaten Thatcham on Saturday without them," said manager Andy Jones.

Both are expected to return to the starting line up for tonight's game but they are without midfielder Jon French who suffered a heel injury in the final minutes of Saturday's game which needed stitches.

Defender Steve Tovey has not recovered from the knee ligament injury which could keep him out for another couple of weeks.

Paulton Rovers (from): Phillips, Pendry, Boys, Price, Cousins, B Cleverley, D Cleverley, Lane, Sheppard, Claridge, Jefferies, Hulbert, Trought, Stewart, Hughes.

Mangotsfield United are without striker Marcus Duharty due to work commitments for their BGB Southern League Premier division game at Merthyr Tydfil.

Midfielder Charlie Clough will have a late check on a knee problem and manager Paul Milsom brings Andy Criddle into the squad for Mark Pocock who has not recovered from a back injury.

Mangotsfield United (from): Clapham, Ball, Hendy, Scott, Bater, Arndale, Clough, Wilmot, Wring, Page, Collett, Criddle, Morris, Tippins, Jones.

Clevedon Town are without midfielder Matt Driscoll (knee) for tonight's home Somerset Premier Cup first-round tie against Toolstation first division side Portishead.

Lee Jenkins, Dale Peckham and Hanin Ranhdane are still out and manager Wayne Powell may be forced to name himself as a substitute.

Clevedon Town (from): Greaves, Brigham, Collins, Bassett, Heal, Loxton, Hooper, Williams, Mahdi, L Powell, Trotter, Pearce, Burrows, Harris, Adams, W Powell.
