Darlington are looking for a much-needed second home league win of the season at home to Hereford on Saturday.

Quakers desperately need the points to catch up on fifth bottom Banbury, who are eight points ahead of them.

They are hoping to solve their goalscoring problems, they've scored just once in their last six league matches.

Team news:

• Akwasi Asante is expected to be fit after a groin injury
• Cardo Siddik returns to the squad after a knee injury
• Ben Liddle has a fitness test on a calf injury
• New signing Matty Cornish is included in the squad
• Kallum Griffiths returns after illness
• Scott Barrow is doubtful because of illness
• Blaine Rowe is on loan to Mickleover
• Jassem Sukar is on loan to Scarborough
