Dartford v Oxford City

Dartford manager Tony Burman will be back in the dugout for his side’s FA Trophy game against Oxford City at Princes Park on Saturday.

Burman missed the Darts' 3-3 Ryman League Premier Division draw with AFC Hornchurch on Tuesday due to illness, and returns at the weekend hoping to see his side continue their impressive form of late against the Southern League strugglers.

"Oxford are at a similar standard to us and apart from in recent weeks, their form has been the same as ours," he said.

"We’ve started being a little more consistent of late, having only lost once in the last six games, and with us being at home we need to make that advantage count.

"If we can do that and get through I’ll be happy because I want us to go as far as we can in the competition."

Danny Dafter is suspended for the game after picking up five cautions. John Guest is the only injury doubt.
