SALISBURY City will take a squad of 18 players to Cheshire for Saturday’s Blue Square Premier match at Altrincham.

Boosted by five transfer window signings, who are all available for the match, Whites manager Tommy Widdrington has an embarrassment of riches causing a rare selection headache.

Only defender Dan Webb is sidelined, following the knee injury sustained against Histon recently, but could be back in action in a week or so.

City drew 0-0 away at Cambridge United in midweek in their FA Trophy third round tie and will replay at the Ray Mac on Tuesday (February 9) for the right to host Tamworth in the quarter finals of the competition.

Salisbury have not played a league game since January 23’s 3-0 home win against Histon and currently occupy 17th place in the table – eight points and six places behind Saturday’s hosts, who are still targeting a play-off place finish.

Whites are now unbeaten in four outings this year and have not conceded a goal (excluding the Wiltshire Premier Shield) since the 1-1 draw with Oxford United at the end of December.

Leading striker Matt Tubbs has scored four goals in four games.

Saturday’s match at Moss Lane kicks off at 3pm.

City team (from): James Bittner, Ryan Pryce, Sean Clohessy, Luke Ruddick, Patrick Cox, Chris Bush, Ronnie Bull, Stuart Anderson, Chris Giles, Jamie Turley, Ben Adelsbury, Robbie Sinclair, Darrell Clarke, Chris Flood, Bradley Gray, Reece Connolly, Matt Tubbs, Toby Osman.
