Moses Emmanuel interview:

Dover manager Chris Kinnear after Dover’s win over Guiseley.

DOVER have played Guiseley three times and the record against the Lions is an impressive one.

Whites have won two of the encounters without conceding a goal while last season’s corresponding game at Crabble ended in a 0-0 draw.

It goes without saying that Dover will be aiming to keep that record intact when the Yorkshire come calling on Saturday (3pm).

Guiseley arrive in second last place on the National League ladder after winning just their third game of the season last week, 2-0 at home against Torquay United.

Dover are sixth and 21 points ahead of today’s visitors, but assistant boss Jake Leberl says that statistic counts for little.

He said: “Last seasonƒ??s games against them were tough and today will be even harder, especially with having played our FA Cup tie against Cambridge United less than 48 hours ago.

“We had the same problem against Boreham Wood in March where the lads just could not get going as they were dead on their feet.

“However, if our players want to be successful in this sport, then these are the types of challenges they will need to overcome.”

*BS*GUISELEY’S RECENT FORM*BF*

The Lions beat visiting Torquay 2-0 last Saturday with goals from Jordan Preston and Jake Cassidy.

Their previous three league games saw a 1-0 loss at Aldershot, a 1-1 draw at home against Gateshead and a 3-0 defeat at leaders Forest Green Rovers.

DOVER will be looking to get back to winning ways in the National League when we make a history making trip to the West Midlands on Saturday.

Whites, who lost 4-1 against Tranmere Rovers at Crabble in their last league outing, face competition new boys Solihull Moors for the first time.

And there will be a couple of new faces in both camps for the clash at Damson Park.

Dover boss Chris Kinnearƒ??s squad will include new signing Joe Healy for the first time following the midfielderƒ??s arrival from Maidstone United.

Kinnear will also have a new counterpart ƒ?? Keith Bertschin.

The former Birmingham City striker was named as Solihullƒ??s new head coach on Wednesday after manager Marcus Bignot left for League Two side Grimsby Town.

The 60-year-old Bertschin has previously worked as now Aston Villa boss Steve Bruceƒ??s assistant over a nine-year period in the top two tiers of English football at Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, Sunderland and Hull City.

Bertschinƒ??s side will start the game 15th on the National League ladder, eight places and nine points behind Kinnearƒ??s.

*BS*SOLIHULLƒ??S RECENT FORM*BF*

They drew 2-2 at League Two side Yeovil Town in the FA Cup last Saturday after coming from 2-0 down to earn a replay.

Their last two home games have both ended in defeats against Forest Green Rovers (1-0) and Tranmere Rovers (3-0).

But they did win 1-0 at Braintree Town after suffering those losses.

*BS*HITMEN*BF*

Whites’ top scorer in the league this season is Ricky Miller with 15, while Solihullƒ??s leading man is Akwasi Asante with seven.

*BS*DOVER TEAM NEWS*BF*

DOVERƒ??S Emirates FA Cup campaign continues at Crabble on Thursday with the first round replay clash against League Two Cambridge United at 7.45pm.

The first game between the sides ended 1-1 at the Cambs Glass Stadium on November 5th.

The Uƒ??s led 1-0 at half-time before Ricky Miller equalised eight minutes from time.

A home tie against League One side and former FA Cup winners Coventry City on December 4 is the carrot for tonightƒ??s victors.

But Dover boss Chris Kinnear is not looking that far ahead.

He said: ƒ??I have never been one to think about what be and I am not about to change.

ƒ??Our focus is only on playing Cambridge and nothing else matters.

ƒ??We take it game by game and thatƒ??s the way we always will.ƒ?

As for the game, which will be played live on BT Sport, Kinnear says his side wonƒ??t be doing anything different to normal.

He said: ƒ??We may be playing a Football League team and doing on live TV, but our preparation and the way we approach it wonƒ??t be any different any other game we play.

ƒ??Weƒ??ll be going all out to win, something we do in every game regardless of who we are playing against.ƒ?

*BS*WHAT IS CAMBRIDGE BOSS SHAUN DERRY SAYING?*BF*

He told the Cambridge News that he felt it would be an intriguing game as both sides knew what the other was all about from their first meeting.

But he is optimistic United, who will still be without Joe Pigott due to concussion, can build on their display from last Saturdayƒ??s 3-1 win at Crawley in Sky Bet League Two.

Derry said: ƒ??Itƒ??s one thing going to watch Dover in the flesh and watching all the videos, but itƒ??s only when you come up against certain players that you realise just what they can produce and itƒ??s the flip side for both teams.

ƒ??Weƒ??ve both had a look at each other, weƒ??ve both sussed each other out and theyƒ??d have gone back and looked at all the positives they produced last Saturday (a 3-2 win at Solihull) and weƒ??ve done the same.

ƒ??Itƒ??s a different type of game. Weƒ??re away from home, the expectation level is on their shoulders to produce a performance as well, but we just need to concentrate on what we do.

ƒ??We want to go through to round two. Itƒ??s a great proposition, Coventry at home for whoever gets through this round.

ƒ??Everyone looks for a banana skin and we have to make sure weƒ??re not one of them.ƒ?

*BS*CAMBRIDGE UNITEDƒ??S RECENT FORM*BF*

Since the draw with Dover, the Uƒ??s lost 2-0 at home to Scunthorpe in the Football League Trophy.

They bounced back from that defeat with a 3-1 win at Crawley in Sky Bet League Two last Saturday.

Greg Taylor, Uche Ikpeazu and Luke Berry scored the goals.

*BS*HITMEN*BF*

Whites’ top scorer this season is Ricky Miller with 21 while Cambridgeƒ??s leading man is Luke Berry with six.

*BS*DOVER TEAM NEWS*BF*

Leyton Orient loanee Sammy Moore and new signing Joe Healy are both not available while defender Jack Parkinson will be missing through suspension after his red card at Solihull Moors on Saturday.

Sam Magri is back from international duty with Malta after missing the 3-2 win in the West Midlands.

Contrary to suggestions in the media, Dover Athletic confirm Ricky Miller is not for sale.

It has been reported that National League side Forest Green Rovers are attempting to prise Miller away from the club.

Chairman Jim Parmenter said: “Ricky is not for sale. He is under contract at this club and is a big part of our push to promotion this season.

“We would not consider selling Ricky to a club at our level and believe if and when he finally moves on it will be to a big club with good league pedigree.”

BTSport, the television broadcast partner of The National League, has announced a further six LIVE matches they will be screening from the Vanarama National in December and January to round off 2016 and welcome 2017.

And Dover will feature in two of them, the trip to Maidstone on January 1 and the clash at Lincoln City on Friday, January 20.

The Maidstone game will kick-off at 6pm after being scheduled to start at 3pm while the Lincoln game will get underway at 7.45pm.

The clash with the Imps was originally scheduled for a 3pm start on Saturday, January 21st but the fixture has been moved forward a day to accommodate the television coverage.
