Boston United return to the Jakemans Community Stadium to face AFC Fylde on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 3.00pm).

Fresh from last weekend's eye-catching 3-1 victory over Forest Green Rovers, the Pilgrims are back on home soil in pursuit of their second win at the JCS this season.

Despite leading in four home games, United only have their 1-0 win over Altrincham to show as a maximum three-point haul so far.

United manager Paul Hurst will select from a squad missing international duty trio Nicholas Pozo, Kai Mauro and Ollie Bostock.

Pozo's absence means there will be at least one change to the starting XI which won in Gloucestershire last weekend.

Opponents Fylde have made a strong start to life back in the National League, amassing 17 points from a possible 27 to date, including four away wins.

LIVE COVERAGE
The match will be shown live on National League TV.

Elsewhere, BBC Radio Lincolnshire full-match commentary, courtesy of Rob Makepeace and Mark Clifford, is available online.

Updates on X will be available via @bostonunited throughout the afternoon.
