IN-FORM Nathan Jukes is suspended for Evesham United's FA Cup clash at Havant & Waterlooville tomorrow (3pm).

The midfielder, who has scored seven goals, is banned after picking up five bookings.

Phil Mullen admits Evesham will need a slice of luck against the Dr Martens Premier Division outfit to progress to the fourth qualifying round.

"It's going to be difficult, we are under no illusions about that, but we've just got to go there and give it our best," he said.

"Luck might have to play its part if we are to proceed but first of all we must get ourselves prepared in the correct manner.

"We've had reports on them and they've got some good players. They've not had a great start to the season but I wouldn't read too much into that.

"We slipped up at Merthyr last week but it was just one of those below par games and we didn't do ourselves justice."

Ex-Bromsgrove Rovers goalkeeper Chris Taylor will make his debut and Mullen is hoping he can steer clear of the misfortune that has befallen recent occupants of the number one jersey with Damian Quailey currently out with a broken leg and Darren Steadman struggling with a persistent knee injury.

Mark Wolsey is still out with an ankle injury that has dragged on and Mullen may refer the midfielder may to see a specialist if it fails to clear up.

n Reditch United are also in FA Cup action tomorrow when they take on Norther Counties East League Arnold Town at the Valley Stadium 3pm.
