Crawley host Southend in FA Cup first-round replay
Posted Tuesday, November 20, 2018 by PA
Crawley will aim to book an FA Cup second-round spot for the first time in five years when they host Southend on Tuesday.
The teams drew 1-1 at Roots Hall earlier this month, with the prize of a home tie against League One side Barnsley at stake.
Crawley boss Gabriele Cioffi will check on Filipe Morais and Luke Gambin, who missed the narrow defeat against Grimsby on Saturday.
Ashley Nathaniel-George and Dannie Bulman started instead of them, and Cioffi will again consider all his options ahead of Southend’s visit.
Southend boss Chris Powell hopes that John White will be back in the selection mix after missing the league defeat against Blackpool because of illness.
Powell, though, says that Dru Yearwood is touch and go after the 18-year-old midfielder went off in the Blackpool game because of a hip injury.
And Southend will definitely be without two further players in Michael Turner and Ted Smith.
Powell says that goalkeeper Smith will not be available for the trip to Sussex due to injury, while Turner starts a three-match ban.
