After confirming a place in next week's promotion playoffs on Saturday, Sutton can ensure themselves a home semi final with a victory in tonight's game against Cray Wanderers at Bromley (travel details here). Indeed, should Sutton win tonight and Aveley fail to pick up maximum points at Billericay, U's will have secured second place and home advantage in the play-off final should they get there. It's only just over a fortnight since Cray won impressively at Gander Green Lane, so in addition to the incentive of home play-offs, Sutton will also be keen to complete the season without any side having done the 'double' over them. Despite that fine victory on Easter Monday Cray are not entirely safe from the threat of relegation due to a poor goal difference, but after tonight still have two games to record the victory that would ensure a second season of Premier Division football. Kevin Scriven, sent off on Easter Monday, serves his one match suspension tonight but Steve Perkins, who limped off injured in the same game, is hopeful of being fit to return at Hayes Lane.
