City have the opportunity to stretch their lead at the top to 6 points with a win, whilst Banks O' Dee have the incentive of going top should they emerge victorious.

City will be under no illusions at to the task that faces them tomorrow evening with Banks O' Dee only tasting defeat once in the Highland League this season, that coming against City back in September.

TEAM NEWS
City's only definite absentee will be Anthony McDonald whilst a couple of players who are nursing knocks will be assessed ahead of the game.

MANAGERS COMMENTS
Looking back at the win over Wick Academy on Saturday, Gavin Price commented, "It wasn't a great start to the game at all but from around 20 minutes until half time we played a bit better. With the pitch conditions we played a more direct style and I thought the strikers did very well.

"Second half was a bit of a non event really and we didn't create an awful lot of chances. Wick sat quite deep in the second half to frustrate us and we didn't really cut them open but that spell in the first half certainly got us out of jail a wee bit. I was pleased with the reaction we showed after conceding the opening goal but it was an average performance apart from that.

"We've got a squad with different types of players and when the conditions are like what they are then we need to use the right qualities and adapt to the conditions better than we did on Saturday. It happens during the season around January and February where pitches are very heavy and you just have to adapt to that.

"There were a few players left out that were carrying niggles in recent games and hopefully that will stand them in good stead for another two games this week - we've got to use the squad wisely.

"The weekend past just goes to show that every 3 points is worth the same value and you can't take any game for granted. You've got to make sure prepare the best you can for every game and make sure you turn up.

"Tomorrow we've got to do better than we have done against the top teams since I have come in so we've got to make sure we are ready for it mentally. Everybody as far as I'm aware (with the exception of Anthony McDonald) are available. There might be one or two with knocks which we will look at but we'll be able to put a strong team on the park."
