The Yellows, who sit 5th, are one of five teams who are unbeaten after the opening four games, after picking victories against Merstham and Grays, and drawing against Dulwich Hamlet and Wingate and Finchley (Tuesday evening).

Enfield picked up their first win of the season last week, after beating Kingstonian 3-0 at the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium - Collins, Neitta and Ottaway scoring for the Towners.

New signing Danny Cowley, a favourite with Sudbury fans, returned to the Suffolk club this week after departing Thurrock last weekend, and could feature on Saturday. Jack Wilkinson could return from his injury, while Stefano Mallardo is not in contention.

The two sides last met in March 2012, when the two sides played out a 3-3 draw in London, with the reverse fixture in Suffolk ended 2-1 to the Towners. Meanwhile, AFC's last win over Enfield came in 2007, as they ran out 1-0 winners over their hosts.

Last season, the Blues finished just outside the play-offs in 6th place, and will look to improve on that position this term.

Enfield were formed in 2001, as a fan-owned club breaking away from Enfield FC - who eventually dissolved in 2007 and 'became' Enfield 1893.

Enfield's coach departs the Queen Elizabeth Stadium at 11am (£12).
