MALVERN Town bid to extend their lead at the top of the West Midlands League Premier Division to six points when they entertain strugglers Smeth-wick at the Langland Stadium tonight (7.45pm).

Town manager Neil Hunt hopes to include Adam Baldwin, who missed Saturday's victory at Bustlehome due to flu. He also includes striker Des Cox who completed his rehabilitation from a knee ligament problem by scoring twice in the reserves 3-0 win over Wyre Forest on Saturday.

But Nathan Owen is ruled out with injury, and Rik Halion is suspended.

Town general manager Richard Anson said: "This is another must-win game. We have no game this weekend and we don't want to allow Tipton or Kington the opportunity to make up any more ground than is necessary."

Town: Alden, Moss, Chalmers, Cannon, Clayton, Hooper, Baldwin, Morris, Williams, Smith, Willetts, Roberts, Thomas, Tompkins , Cox and Beauchamp.
