Sudbury's excellent start to the season continued on Saturday afternoon, when they beat Merstham, courtesy of Liam Wales' winning strike, late on.

Prior to that, AFC picked up a 3-1 win at Grays Athletic, and drew 2-2 at home to Dulwich Hamlet, on the opening day, placing the Yellows 4th after the first three games.

Wingate will travel to Kings Marsh on the back of a 1-0 win over 'rivals' Hendon at the weekend. Last week saw the Blues beat Billericay Town, although they were defeated 3-0 away at Tonbridge Angels.

Tyler French is expected to replace Stefano Mallardo (calf) for the Yellows.

Billy Healey and Tommy Tejan-Sie are returning to full fitness, and could feature for the Barnet-based visitors.

Last season, the Blues finished the season 13th, having been promoted to the Premier Division from the North Division in the 2010-11 season.
