EVESHAM United look set to be boosted by the return of three key players for Saturday's trip to Aylesbury United (3pm).

Strikers James Knott and Gary Hay and midfielder Simon Fitter are all expected to be involved as the Robins look to maintain their seven-point gap at the top of British Gas Business Division One Midlands.

Knott played in the 2-0 win over Bedworth United last weekend but the trio all missed the 1-1 draw at Chesham United on Tuesday. Fitter has not played since returning to the club from Stourport Swifts.

Manager Paul West said: "When you miss somebody of Gary Hay's quality it's going to have an effect.

"The lads that have come in have done great but hopefully we will have a few players fighting for places again, which is healthy."

The mid-week draw means Evesham missed out on completing February with a 100 per cent record but they are still unbeaten in 11 matches.

"We all get a bit greedy," West said. "It was always going to be a tough game. The lads will be disappointed because we wanted to get the 100 per cent record but in terms of the game and performance we have got to be happy because we got a result."

Aylesbury, who ground-share with Chesham, are fourth in the table and have lost just two of their last eight games.

The manager said: "We go to the same ground we played on last Saturday. It's not the best of pitches but the lads will have some idea how to play it. All we can do is concentrate on trying to get back to winning ways. Aylesbury's record is there to see but I am expecting a really tough game."
