Swansea City v Gillingham
GILLINGHAM travel to Swansea tonight knowing that only their best will be good enough.
The Swans, who need points to remain in the promotion hunt, are unbeaten in their last nine at home and Gills boss Ronnie Jepson is expecting a battle.
Jepson said: "On our day we can give anybody a game but you’ve got to be on top of your game to get anything out of a trip to Swansea.
"They’ve spent a hell of a lot of money to try and get out of this league, and they have high expectations."
Goalkeeper Romain Larrieu, 30, signed on a one-week loan from Plymouth, is likely to play a big part in tonight's game.
Ian Cox is out suspended while Kelvin Jack, Alan Pouton and Brent Sancho are carrying injuries, which will mean youngsters Sean Clohessy and Frannie Collin remain in the squad for the visit to Wales.
Jepson added: "We’ll go there the same as we always do, 4-4-2, we’ll stand up and be counted and we’ll have a go."
* Tuesday night’s match is all-ticket and Gillingham supporters must purchase their tickets before travelling to the game.
