Chris Agutter has made five change to the side that beat Southampton in the National League Cup, and two from the team that sealed victory at Truro City in Sutton’s last league outing.

Jack Sims has replaced Tommy Reid to make his first league start since September, having come in for a positive first game back during the week. In addition, Brandon Njoku leads the line, replacing Osman Foyo with the clash with Gateshead coming too soon for Ashley Nadesan.

There is also a place on the bench for academy forward, George Vorster, who has been rewarded for an impressive spell at Burgess Hill Town on a dual registration deal.

Sutton United: Sims (GK); Simper, Pruti (C), Taylor, Ogbonna, Harris, Taylor, Eccleston, Jennings, Njoku, Muller

Substitutes: Reid (GK), Vaz, Tizzard, Jones, Crichlow, Bell, Vorster
