Gillingham travel to York City for a League Two match on Saturday with several players pushing for a place in the squad. The fixture at the LNER Community Stadium kicks off at 3pm and will be available for supporters to watch on Sky Sports+.
Ethan Coleman, Bradley Dack, Cameron Antwi and Will Goodwin are all in contention for the matchday group. Zane Albarus and Armani Little are also potentially involved pending late assessment. Conor McManus is unavailable after being called up to the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad.
York City manager Scott Lindsey has been assessing his own squad ahead of the game. Zech Medley is out with a hamstring problem, while Jack Hunt is set to return to training on Friday for assessment. Frankie Maguire is available.
Lindsey commented on Gillingham's approach, noting similarities to his own side's system. "They play a very similar system to us actually, with a back three and try to pass it," he said. "They make passes around the back and try to be patient with their build, but they are very aggressive at the moment where they want to go forward, so we have to be ready for that."
Historical head-to-head
The clubs have met on 38 previous occasions, with draws being the most common result. Gillingham have won 12 times to York's 11 victories. The last Gillingham visit to York was in February 2013, when Martin Allen's title-winning side played out a goalless draw. Charlie Lee came closest to scoring that day, hitting the crossbar with a volley from 30 yards.
Match context
Gillingham go into the fixture sitting fourth in League Two with 12 points from their opening seven games. Their recent form shows three wins and two draws from the last five, though they suffered a heavy defeat in their last outing.
The game is a sell-out at York Community Stadium. For those unable to attend, it will be shown on Sky Sports+ via the Sky Sports app or NOW TV with a valid subscription. An audio pass is available for a one-off fee, while overseas viewers can access a video feed with BBC Radio Kent commentary. Scott Oldham will referee the match, assisted by Matthew McGrath and Joe Simpson, with Charles King as fourth official.
Gillingham's next match is at home to Newport County on October 3.
