Salisbury have the difficult task of catching their breath after a nine-goal thriller at the Mac saw the Whites snatch three points against top of the league Worthing at the death ahead of a trip to the capital to face Dagenham & Redbridge.

Brian Dutton’s side moved up to 16th place after the late win against Worthing and within three points of tomorrow’s opposition who sit slap-bang in the middle of the table in 12th.

Both sides share a similar veins of form in their last five fixtures, with the Whites picking up six points and the Daggers winning one, drawing two and losing two games to pick up five points.

The Whites will look to take performances that have seen three wins on the bounce at home to other grounds in an attempt to try and improve their away form heading into the new year.

Salisbury’s newest signing from Worthing, Nathan Odokonyero, will be available for selection ahead of our trip to the Chigwell Construction Stadium to help improve their attacking form, which has seen the Whites fail to score in their last four away trips.

However, Salisbury can feel positive travelling to the Daggers as they sit 17th in the home form guide with a negative record at their ground.
