United set for Boxing Day encounter
Boxing Day action is on offer at The Jakemans Stadium on Monday afternoon with the visit of struggling Eastwood Town (kick-off 3.00pm).
Boston United will be aiming to get off to a winning start in the festive double-header against the Nottinghamshire-based relegation fighters, who have recently appointed John Ramshaw as their new manager.
New signing Leon Constantine could make his United debut in the Boxing Day clash, while skipper Gareth Jelleyman is poised to return from a hamstring strain.
Fellow defender Kevin Austin (hamstring) is battling to be fit for the festive fixture.
Former Eastwood striker Ben Fairclough will be hoping to earn a start against his former employers, whom he left in September to join the Pilgrims.
Eastwood have recorded three victories to date this season, with two of those successes arriving on the road (2-0 at Solihull Moors and 2-1 at Vauxhall Motors).
Monday’s match referee is Neil Hair and full coverage is available on United Live.
Fancy a festive bet? The Pilgrims are 4/11 favourites to win the match with league sponsors Blue Square Bet, who have Eastwood available at 11/2 and the draw on offer at 10/3.
