THE CONTEXT

It's a case of deja vu for the visitors as they make another late charge for the play-offs that is akin to last season. The in-form Daggers won 5-0 at The Vale last May but just fell short of making the play-off positions and look as if they may just miss out again, Stones will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last season's result and have shored up the defence this season conceding a third less than the 99 goals shipped last season. Again similar to last season, Wealdstone's safety is confirmed but will want to bounce back from an unfortunate 4-2 defeat away to Altrincham on the weekend.


TEAM NEWS

Charlie Cooper returned to the squad on the weekend and capped his comeback from injury with a goal. Ashley Charles could also return to the squad for Saturday's game against the Daggers after picking up an injury in the win over Southend United. Former-Dagger Andrew Eleftheriou remains out injured.

WHO TO WATCH FOR?

Paul McCallum: Stones fans missed out on the threat McCallum poses up top in our last match-up when the striker was sent off just a minute into October's FA Cup match for a challenge on Alex Dyer. He has three goals in his previous two games against the Stones though and his tally of 17 has surpassed last season's total of 16 league goals.
