Gloucester City make the short trip to Aggborough today to take on Kidderminster Harriers in the Vanarama National League North (KO: 3pm).

Steven King’s men travel to Worcestershire with all focus on bringing back the much needed three points if they are to get back up to the playoff places.

Here are the statistics regarding City’s 20th league game of this current season:

Form:

City currently have a tally of 26 points on the board heading into the game and with no win in their last four league games King will be eager to get back on track with a win.

City’s last match was against Kettering Town in the FA Trophy on Saturday which disappointingly ended in a 1-0 defeat. However, due to Kettering fielding an ineligible player, City find themselves still involved in the competition and will play Gateshead on the 17th December in the next round.

Kidderminster on the other hand, are just a point above City in the league and have been on a decent run of form winning their last two games.

The Harriers latest victory came away against AFC Telford United on Tuesday night in a game which saw them win 2-1.

Key Players:

No doubt City’s defence will be aware of their opponents threats heading into this game. Striker Ethan Fremantle has currently netted seven goals for the Harriers so far this season along with winger Ashley Hemmings who has three to his name.

Trips up to Aggborough have become one of my favourite away days over the years. My dad and I usually make the journey whenever we can, and there's something about the setup at Kidderminster that always makes for a competitive afternoon. After a tricky few weeks, getting a result there would be massive for the lads and the whole squad's confidence. I've seen Gloucester grind out some decent performances on the road, and if they can keep things tight at the back while looking sharp on the counter, they’ve got every chance. The boys always seem to raise their game in these fixtures. Of course, all that standing and travelling takes its toll after a while. To keep up with…
