WORCESTER City look set to make at least one change for tomorrow's crucial Dr Martens League Premier Division game at Crawley Town (3pm).

Ray Woods, who has made a successful comeback in City's last two games to help them through an injury crisis, is very doubtful due to work commitments.

That could lead to a recall for under-fire striker Micky Cotter or midfielder Steve Lutz, who are likely to face fitness tests tomorrow on foot and ankle injuries respectively after missing the Christmas fixtures.

Manager John Barton said: "I won't be looking to change things too much -- the performance at Halesowen warranted things staying the same -- but depending on Ray's availability we will be forced into at least one change."

Carl Tranter, who scored City's third goal in the 3-1 win at Halesowen on Boxing Day after coming on as substitute, could be another option but Barton is likely to keep him as substitute.

The manager admitted: "He is still short of games. He came on for 20 minutes at Halesowen and, by his own admission, he was struggling to stay with the pace despite his goal."

Midfielder Ian Cottrill (thigh) and defender Nathan Jukes (hamstring) who were both injured in last Saturday's 1-1 home draw with King's Lynn, are still ruled out.

Sixth-placed City, who have lost only once in their last nine league games, will go above Crawley, who are fourth, if they can record their seventh away win of the season.

They could also close the gap on leaders Burton, who entertain Cambridge City tomorrow, and second-placed Margate, who are at Weymouth.

Barton said: "You can only do your best, but if you do your own job consistently and well enough, the rest will take care of itself.

"Crawley have had a little bit of an indifferent spell but maybe they are coming back into a little bit of form. But we are not too concerned about going there -- we are in a decent run ourselves."

Crawley officials are "optimistic" that the game will go ahead. The pitch is covered in snow but is soft underneath and club officials plan to work on the surface tomorrow prior to a possible inspection.
