Southend United winger Neil Jenkins is relishing the prospect of facing Scarborough once again this evening.
The former Wimbledon youngster started against the Seadogs last time around and could again be facing the Conference club's dangerman Ashley Sestanovich at the McCain Stadium tonight.
"He's a very good player but we knew he was going to be a handful before we played them," said Jenkins.
"He's on loan from a First Division club and we knew he'd been playing well. He plays in a position that makes him very hard to mark but we've got a few things in store for him this evening and hopefully we can keep him quiet."
And Jenkins is predicting another tough encounter for the Blues as they bid to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time in 11 years.
"I think it will be a hard game for us," said the 22-year-old.
"They showed in the first match that they work hard and it's going to be a close game again I think. They scraped a draw against us last time we played them after hitting us with a late sucker-punch. But we've been playing well and we're all very confident we can get a good result up there."
