Securing a fourth win on the bounce will be the major objective for Sutton United when they welcome Swindon Town to the VBS Community Stadium on Monday in League Two.

Meanwhile, the visitors head to London aiming to secure consecutive victories for the first time this year, having returned to winning ways last time out.

Match preview

Sutton United continued their recent resurgence with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Salford City at the Peninsula Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Steve Morison's men took the lead on the stroke of half time through Oliver Sanderson but were pegged back by Ryan Watson before Sanderson doubled his tally just past the hour mark to decide the contest.

However, the Yellows remain in grave danger in 23rd place in the League Two table, just one point worse off than Colchester United in the safety of 22nd spot albeit having played three games more.

Awaiting them next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have emerged victorious from four of the previous five editions of this fixture.

Fresh off the back of a first win in eight home matches, Monday's hosts go in search of back to back successes in front of their fans for the first time since November.

Swindon Town snapped a four-game winless run by beating Notts County 2-1 when the teams went head-to-head at the County Ground on Friday.

Goals in either half from Aaron Drinan and Paul Glatzel put Gavin Gunning's men in the driving seat after which Alassana Jatta halved the deficit late on.

With 47 points amassed from their 40 league matches so far, the Robins sit 19th in the standings, 11 points better off than their next opponents.

Having failed to win any of their last eight matches away from home, Monday's visitors will be keen to turn things around on their travels.

Team News

Coming off the back of an impressive two-goal haul against Salford, Sutton's Oliver Sanderson will head into Monday's contest with the wind in his sails.

Craig Eastmond has not featured in any of the home side's last three matches, and the midfielder remains a major doubt for this one as well.

Swindon Town's Aaron Drinan registered his third goal in four appearances last time out, making the Irishman one to keep an eye on here.

Twenty-eight-year-old Saidou Khan is still nursing a muscle problem which has seen him fail to play any part for the visitors since early March.

Sutton United possible starting lineup:

Arnold; Hart, Sowunmi, Kizzi, Jackson; Adom-Malaki, Lakin, Beautyman, Coley; Smith, Sanderson

Swindon Town possible starting lineup:

Bycroft; Godwin-Malife, McCarthy, Blake-Tracey; Kokolo, Devoy, Aguiar, Elbouzedi; Glatzel, Drinan, McGurk

We say: Sutton United 2-1 Swindon Town
