Ebbsfleet United
Tomorrow’s visitors have endured a tough season so far having picked up just one win so far this season, that coming back in September against Hartlepool United. They are winless in 17 games and routed to the bottom of the National League, 11 points off safety. In their last game they suffered defeat to fellow strugglers AFC Fylde, despite being goalless at half time the Fleet couldn’t hold on for a point as goals from Charlie Jolley and Jonathon Ustabasi secured Fylde a crucial three points.

AFC Fylde 2-0 Ebbsfleet
Sutton United 3-3 Ebbsfleet
Ebbsfleet 0-0 Boston United

On Wednesday, the Fleet parted company with manager Harry Watling after just three months in charge. In the dugout tomorrow will be former Barnet loanee Josh Wright who will manage just his second game in football tomorrow having drawn his only game earlier in the season.
Ones to watch:
Ebbsfleet have struggled for goals this season, but they still have record goal scorer Dominic Poleon at their disposal. The 31-year-old striker has scored 4 goals from 17 games so far this season. Loanee Aaron Cosgrave has 2 goals from 9 appearances since his arrival on loan from Halifax.
Last time these two sides met:
The last time these two sides met was in October 2023 when Barnet ran out victorious in the FA Cup 4th round qualifying replay at the Hive. Nicke Kabamba got three goals to his name plus the match ball before Harry Pritchard added a fourth in injury time at the end of the game, securing Barnet a spot in the first round.
