The Yellows ended their 10-match winning streak following a draw with promotion contenders Hornchurch a fortnight ago, but bounced back to winning ways, with a comfortable 4-0 win away at Redbridge last weekend.

Ben Robinson and Ollie Berquez (both illness) will return to the AFC line-up this afternoon, after both missing the Redbridge victory, which saw manager Jamie Godbold make a substitute appearance.

'The Fleet' ran out 3-1 winners at Waltham Abbey on Tuesday evening, after falling to defeats against Cheshunt (away) and Phoenix Sports (home).

Sudbury will look to get revenge on the Essex side, who thumped AFC 5-1, early in October - Ben Robinson scoring for Sudbury.

AFC Reserves travel to Stowmarket Town in the Thurlow Nunn First Division, kick-off 3pm at Greens Meadow. Sudbury sit 5th in the table, while Stow sit 14th. The visitors drew 0-0 with Kings Lynn Reserves in their last match, while the home side beat Ely 1-0 in the First Division Cup.
