Bristol, on the other hand, have endured a tough spell which has seen them lose their last five Southern League fixtures against Cinderford Town, Yate Town, Bideford, Melksham Town and Moneyfields - conceding 13 times.

The two sides were due to play in January but snowy weather saw the match postponed.

Town received a boost on Tuesday when Jordan Williams signed from Mangotsfield. The wide player is included in tonight's squad and is likely to start for the Blues.

The last meeting between the two teams came back in September at Waterside Park. Two late goals from George Jeacock and James Clark gave Thatcham a 2-1 win on that occasion after coming from a goal behind.

Town sit tenth in the league standings after recent impressive performances but another crucial three points for the Berkshire-based team could see them leapfrog Street, AFC Totton, Cinderford and Winchester City - whom all sit within two points of the Kingfishers.

Bristol Manor Farm sit 15th in the table and eight points adrift of Highworth Town in the position above.
