Sutton visit the Christopher Russell on Saturday
Phoenix will hope to continue their impressive recent run of form as they welcome Sutton Athletic on Saturday (3pm).
Jake Goodman’s side are unbeaten in seven matches, a sequence that includes emphatic 4–0 league victories over Hythe Town and Larkfield, followed most recently by a 1–1 draw with league leaders Whitstable Town.
Phoenix are already well acquainted with Sutton this season, having fallen to a 3–2 defeat when the two sides met back in August. Goals from Ahkeem Belford and Lyle Della Verde were not enough for Phoenix, as a late winner from Taylor Fisher earned Sutton all three points.
Phoenix have added three players to their squad since their last home match with attacking players Khayrie Harris, Kieron McCann and former Sutton man Fisher joining the ranks. Fisher could make his Phoenix debut against his old club on Saturday.
Sutton have lost just one of their last six league matches - a 4–0 defeat away at Whitstable - and have drawn three of the remaining five.
They exited the Kent Senior Trophy on Saturday following a 2–0 home defeat to Rusthall, with both goals coming in added time at the end of each half.
With Phoenix back in the play-off conversation, a win would see Jake Goodman’s side leapfrog Sutton and potentially finish the day in sixth place.
