Andrew Fagan could well be back tonight.

WINDSOR & Eton host Gosport Borough in what is sure to be a fiery encounter on Tuesday evening.

The Royalists are 31 games unbetaen and top of the league by 16 points after the weekend's fixtures but Boro boast one of the deadliest strikers in the division in the form of Justin Bennett.

Last season saw two heated matches, the first abandoned due to the weather, at Stag Meadow between the sides and manager Keith Scott is expecting more of the same after an incident in the dressing room.

"It's no secret I was an admirer of Justin Bennett, I wanted to bring him to the club last season," confirmed Scott.

"I saw Gosport play against Mangotsfield and they have had a torrid run of late but I guarantee you that they will be up for it on Tuesday night because of what has gone on in the past between the two clubs.

"Justin is a dangerous player but it won't be a problem for us because I will throw Andrew (Fagan) in at centre-half which will nulify him from a pace point-of-view.

"It's a great opportunity for us on Tuesday because Totton don't play, they are in the County Cup. If we can get a favourable result, being three points, although Totton will have another game to play it's obviously another three points that they have got to make up.

"Tuesday is a big game because it gives us the opportunity to take ourselves further away."
