Last updated : 21 March 2011 By BBC Sport

Eastbourne expect their biggest gate of the season for the visit of Blue Square Bet Premier leaders Crawley.Striker Nathan Crabb (groin) is still sidelined, while defender Gary Elphick again faces a late fitness test, having undergone a painkilling injection.

Crawley have striker Richard Brodie, defender Kyle McFadzean and midfielder Dannie Bulman all suspended.

And keeper Michel Kuipers, Willie Gibson and Scott Neilson are all still ruled out through injury.

Eastbourne Borough manager Garry Wilson told BBC Sussex: "It will be a massive game. Crawley are a very strong team and are almost certainties to go on and win the league. We're not here to make it easy for them.

"We certainly won't sit back on our home ground. We'll battle away and see if we can disrupt them.

"We know the odds are stacked against us. We've upset a few in the past and we hope it will be another of those nights at Priory Lane. We know we'll be up against it, but we're looking forward to it."

Crawley assistant manager Paul Raynor told BBC Sussex: "It's always a challenge going down there.

"Garry Wilson gets them fired up, it's a local derby and I'm sure they'll have a big home following.

"People were having a pop at Garry in recent weeks but he's turned things around. We certainly won't be taking it lightly. We're hoping for another positive result."
