Rushden hope to welcome back striker Paris Cowan-Hall and defender Jamie Day, after the pair missed the midweek win at Bath through illness.Striker Sam Smith is still sidelined with a groin tear and could miss the rest of the season.

Hayes & Yeading boss Garry Haylock has no new injury or suspension worries ahead of the trip to Rushden.

Defender Tom Cadmore serves the second game of two-match ban, so Adam Green is likely to continue to deputise.

Rushden & Diamonds boss Justin Edinburgh told BBC Radio Northampton: "We can only affect our results.

"Our games in hand can put us into the play-off position. It's as simple as that.

"No-one else can come and play them for us. It's in our hands.

"We have to believe. We are not clutching. We believe we can do it."
