Erith Town face Whitstable Town on Saturday, Jan 9 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Isthmian League – South East Division, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Erith Town come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 0L). Whitstable Town travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Erith Town win or a draw looks most likely.
