THE strongest defensive record in Division Three stands between Kidderminster Harriers and a play-off place tonight.

Lincoln, who lie one point and a position below ninth-placed Harriers, have conceded just 33 goals in 38 league games.

Ian Britton's men will have to check on the fitness of on-loan centre-back Wes Morgan who is a doubt with a back injury suffered in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Swansea.

But they are certainly without 11-goal John Melligan, on Republic of Ireland U-21s duty, for tonight's re-arranged match although Dean Bennett is back in contention after a hamstring problem.

Harriers have drawn their last two home fixtures yet they are still just a point off the play-offs and have been inspired by excellent away form.

Lincoln have only been defeated three times at Sincil Bank in the league this season but have lost their last two games 2-0 at Bury and Exeter. They were previously on an eight-match unbeaten run.

Midfielder Peter Gain is back after a two-match ban and suffering a calf strain but reserve keeper Darren Horrigan and striker Dene Cropper are still struggling with knee problems.

Former England youth forward Shayne Bradley, on loan from Chesterfield, is back following a calf injury for Lincoln who drew 1-1 at Aggborough on the first day of the season.

Admission into the ground tonight is just £5 for everyone.
