Nuneaton pre-match news
Gresley will be without striker Steve Lenagh who has been chosen to represent UK Prisons and new signing Craig Dean who is cup-tied.
Manager Gary Norton said: "It's a privilege for Steve to be chosen for UK Prisons team so we have given him permission to play for them.""With Steve being absent it will give a chance to someone else. Tonight's game will be tough and we are expecting to have our backs against the wall. We are not expected to get a result, which could take the pressure off our players and give them an incentive.
"Nuneaton will not underestimate us but we will go into the game with nothing to fear and hopefull, come out of the game with some credit."
Defender Matt Smith should be back after being given time off for family reasons but Richard Wardle is a doubt owing to a heavy cold.
The match has to be decided tonight so in the event of draw at the end of 90 minutes there will be extra time and penalties if necessary.
Gresley from: Belford, Wardle, Everitt, Smith, Cheetham, Haynes, Barrett, Slater, Doughty, Holmes, Francis, Spacey, Alexander, Harrad, Hebberd.
