If Purfleet are to remain serious contenders in the Ryman Premier title race, tonight's visit to relegation-threatened Ford United is the sort of match they must win.

Despite still being second, Fleet have fallen away in recent times and suffered a major blow when they threw away a 2-0 advantage to be held 2-2 at lowly Bishop's Stortford on Saturday.

Grays have been showing major improvements recently and will be looking to continue the sort of form that saw them share the spoils with Aldershot on Saturday when they visit Chesham.
