Worthing will look to make it five league wins in a row when Hastings United visit the Photronix Stadium on Tuesday.

It will be the second time the two sides have met in the space of a month after the Rebels won 3-1 at The Pilot Field in September.

Worthing are enjoying a purple patch in the Ryman Division One South and moved up to seventh in the table after beating South Park on Saturday.

Looking ahead to the Hastings clash Rebels joint-manager Jon Meeney warned his side to be wary that United will be looking to avenge their defeat four weeks ago.

“We’ve played them once before and beaten them on their turf so they will be coming here looking to do a job on us on our own turf,” said Meeney.

“We’ve got to embrace that and the best way we can do that is by bringing to the table what we’re good at and also keep our discipline and togetherness.”

Despite suffering an inconsistent start to the season Hastings appear to be improving having only lost once since they were beaten by the Rebels.

That defeat came against Southern Premier Division side Poole Town in the FA Cup and on Saturday they won 2-0 away to Tooting & Mitcham United.

Despite currently lying 17th in the league Hastings, like Worthing, have a number of games in hand over the teams around them.

The Arrows have made a number of new signings since the arrival of new manager Garry Wilson, including forward Billy Medlock who scored against the Rebels last month.

Worthing joint-boss Gary Elphick is hoping Ben Pope (hamstring) will return to the squad while Brannon O’Neill is available following a one-match suspension.

Club captain Matt Hurley (knee ligament) and striker Tony Nwachukwu (abdominal strain) remain sidelined with long-term injuries.

Kick-off for tonight’s match is at 7:45pm with admission costing £8.00 for adults, £6.00 for concessions and £3.00 for 12-16 year olds with under-12s going free.

Worthing possible squad from: Rikki Banks, Rui Buckland, Chris Cook, Matt Piper, Will Hendon, Corey Heath, Gary Elphick, Steve Metcalf, Harvey Sparks, Matt Axell, Ryan Quirke, Jack Barnes, Brannon O’Neill, Ryan Morey, Zack Newton, Callum Overton, Lloyd Dawes, Omar Bugiel.
