RMI go into tomorrow's trip to Worcester on a run of 4 league defeats in a row, while hosts Worcester won at Tamworth last weekend and are unbeaten in 3 games. Despite this, it is worth noting that RMI have come out as victors in the past two meetings between the sides, with a magnificent John Dillon strike crowning a 2-1 victory in the corresponding fixture at St. George's Lane last season.

Worcester have two players who will not feature tomorrow, with Adam Burley and Shabir Khan both nursing injuries, while Nic Colley is returning to full fitness to push for a return alongside Mark Danks and Graham Ward, who should have both shaken off minor knocks.

RMI are still without striker Dan Owen, who is still out with the fractured cheekbone that he suffered in the 1-1 draw at Redditch, though left back Owen Roberts and winger Steve Settle made their return to the side against Southport without any obvious reaction to their previous injuries, while centre back Mark Maddox has continued his recent rehabilitation and will again find himself on the fringes of the squad. Kevin Rapley's suspension is yet to come into force and is likely to play some part in the fixture following his controversial red card in the 1-0 home defeat against local rivals Southport last Friday.

Kick off is at 3pm at St George's Lane, with RMI looking for their first win in 5 games while Worcester are still looking for their first win of the season as the two sides find themselves battling it out at the wrong end of the table.
