Didcot Town boss Stuart Peace says they have nothing to fear when they travel to Court Place Farm to take on fellow Division 1 South & West high-fliers Oxford City in tomorrow's derby clash.
The Railwaymen have yet to lose against City this season, beating them 4-3 away in the Errea Cup, and drawing 3-3 at home earlier in the season.
"We've got the best away record in this division and we want to keep it," said Peace, whose only doubt is over Matty Jack (ankle injury).
"We've al- ready beaten them at their ground, so we've got no fears about going there again.
"We're not going there for a draw - we want to win the game.
"I don't think the result will decide anything. If they win and beat Farnborough they have a chance to go on and win it.
"But if we win it will cut the gap, which was six points last week, to one. It would also give us a big psychological boost."
City player-manager Justin Merritt, who has to miss the game to fly to Tokyo, added: "It is an important fixture for us, for local pride as much as anything.
"In the context of the season, it could really push us on. All the players are well-focused. If we win it sets us up nicely for the Farnborough game."
Midfielder Mark Jones returns from injury, though Jermaine McSporran (stomach) and Jon Gardner (broken ankle) are out.
Meanwhile, Mark Bell (pictured) has penned an 18-month contract with City.
Students attending the game can get in for £1.
Abingdon United manager Andy Slater wants to use Tuesday's draw against Oxford United to spur them on to victory against Windsor & Eton.
An equaliser from Michael Blackwood salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Blue Square Pre- mier side after Ryan Curtin fired Abingdon ahead. The match raised funds for their injured midfielder Michael Alexis.
Abingdon will be without the suspended duo of defender Nathan Woodley and striker Billy Beechers.
"We played really well on Tuesday, considering it was Oxford's first team," said Slater.
"We showed all the good habits we are capable of and competed well. We've got to take that into the Windsor game.
"Like winning, losing becomes a habit which we have to get out of quickly."
Matt Murphy will be added to Banbury United's squad for their trip to Premier Division high-fliers King's Lynn, if he passes a fitness test on a calf injury.
Lewis Travers is suspended.
