Whites’ host Wednesday’s derby with more than just Kent bragging rights at stake.

You see, both sides currently occupy two of the bottom four spaces on the National League ladder with Athletic sitting in 21st place, two points and two places ahead of the Stones.

Dover boss Andy Hessenthaler will be aiming to extend his side’s home winning run to four National League matches against a team that have lost four consecutive matches in the league.

Home fans will recognise a familiar face in the opposition squad.

Midfielder Aryan Tajbaksh featured seven times for Dover earlier this campaign.
