Ebbsfleet v Burton

Ebbsfleet entertain Burton in front of the Setanta Sports cameras on Thursday night with manager Liam Daish insisting he is not surprised by the visitors' position at the top of the Blue Square Premier.

The Brewers are 19 points clear of second placed Histon and go into the game on the back of Monday's 3-0 win over Rushden.

"Burton have got a great ground and can attract good players," said Daish. "They train at the National Football Centre in Burton so they have all the right facilities."

Daish, who watched Burton beat Rushden, added: "We have got to be focused from the start. Attacking wise, we also want to give them something to think about.

"Having watched them on Monday I have a good idea of how they will play and hopefully we can cause them problems."

Fleet defender Darius Charles has returned to training after being troubled by an ankle injury while left-back Sacha Opinel is available after completing a three-match ban.
