BASILDON United manager Marc Harrison admits he is in two minds ahead of tonight’s Isthmian League Cup first round match against AFC Hornchurch.

The Bees are currently top of the Isthmian North with four wins from four following their promotion last season.

They now welcome Hornchurch - promoted to the Isthmian Premier League last term - to the Ho Ho Stadium.

And Harrison says he has a full squad available for the encounter.

“It is quite difficult as we have a full squad available,” said the Bees boss. “Saturday at Witham Town will be key and the lads have played a lot of minutes already so I may make some changes.

“But on the other hand I would love to set up with a strong defensive unit and give them a game.

“Momentum is key for us and I don’t want to disrupt it.

“That said, it is a tough fixture but I believe if you stick to the basics, you can make it hard for anyone.”

Tommy Barton is the only player unavailable for Basildon tonight.
