Bath City's rearranged FA Trophy third round tie against Grimsby Town will go ahead tonight (7.45pm).

The game was postponed on Saturday due to a frozen pitch at Twerton Park, but the milder weather over the past 48 hours has seen the playing surface improve.

City are missing several key players due to suspension and injury.

Both Gethin Jones and Sean Canham will be serving the second of a three-match ban, and will now miss the journey to Gateshead rather than the key Newport County match originally scheduled for tonight.

Lewis Hogg will be serving a second and final match suspended following his tenth yellow of the season.

Winger Scott Murray tweaked a hamstring during the recent match at Wrexham, and there are still doubts about the fitness of Marley Watkins, who did come on at Wrexham after Murray’s departure, but perhaps a game or two earlier than intended.

There will be at least one new player after Bath signed winger Chris Shephard on a one-month loan from Exeter City on transfer deadline day.
