GRAYS Athletic are on the road again this weekend, with a Blue Square Premier trip to relegation-threatened Northwich Victoria.

Grays Athletic have a full squad available for selection with the exception of Jon Ashton(suspended following his red card against Crawley on Tuesday) and Ross Flitney(broken arm).

Vics could haul themselves back out of the bottom four with a win.

However, manager Dino Maamria has some surgery to do on his defence with captain Michael Welch and Cortez Belle both out banned.

Danny Meadowcroft stepped in for Belle at Torquay in midweek, while Nat Kerr must be favourite to replace Welch. Josh Wilson and Michael Carr, who has played in that position before, are alternatives.

Carr is under pressure for his place in midfield from Michael Byrne, while Danny Williams battles with Jamie Mullan for a starting shirt on the right of midfield.

No such dilemmas in attack with David Brown set to continue alongside top scorer Lee Steele.

Vics are unbeaten at home in the league since February 9 - a run of six games that has yielded three wins.
