The Marston Road side host Tividale in the FA Trophy preliminary round on the back of their 6-0 drubbing of Belper Town in midweek.

Hat-tricks from Ben Haseley and Dacres set them on their way but Kitching's men suffered a setback with the shoulder injury to Dacres.

However, the Rangers boss is optimistic that recent signing Harvey can step up to the mark.

He said: "Dacres has been doing brilliantly up front with Ben because they're a great partnership. Ben thrived off playing with big Iyesden Christie at Halesowen and now he's doing it with Christian.

"Harvey has experience at this level and above and is a big lad. He'll be a good target and hold it up well for Ben."

The club are waiting on scan results for the extent of Dacres' injury.

Goalkeeper Dominic Kurasik has signed on a one-month work experience deal from Premier League outfit Stoke City.

He will be in the squad for the game with Tividale after being an unused substitute against Belper.
