Jack Dixon, who was named captain against Ramsgate, will be up against a Lewes side he played for last season. In fact, Dixon was sent-off in the corresponding fixture on Boxing Day and scored twice against Hastings, including an absolute beauty, on Easter Monday.

Elsewhere, Little Common will seek to make it 10 Macron Store Southern Combination Football League Division One points from a possible 12 with victory at home to Hailsham Town. Kick-off at The Oval is 11am.

The Commoners have won their last three matches in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and conceding none. They made it back-to-back 5-0 wins in the league with victory away to Ringmer on Saturday when Lewis Hole netted a hat-trick.

Bexhill United, who like Common have yet to fall behind in a match this season, will be aiming to continue their unbeaten record in the same division as they travel to Seaford Town.
