The meeting is being staged tonight due to tomorrow evening's Scandinavian Grand Prix round, and as a consequence Nicki Pedersen will be absent furthering his cause on the world stage. It paves the way for the one-night return to Eagles colours of Mark Loram. That will not please Arena Essex fans as for the past two seasons he has been a fixture in their team and is a capable rider around the Arlington raceway.

Edward Kennett returns having missed last week's 47-46 win over Coventry Bees due to his Premier League club Rye House having first call on his services.

Kennett will renew his impressive partnership with David Norris while 16-year-old Lewis Bridger moves back down the order giving the Eagles a far more imposing look all round.

Eagles: 1 Adam Shields, 2 Dean Barker, 3 Edward Kennett, 4 David Norris, 5 Mark Loram (guest for Nicki Pedersen), 6 Cameron Woodward, 7 Lewis Bridger.

Hammers: 1 Joonas Kylmakorpi, 2 rider replacement for Paul Hurry, 3 Steve Johnston, 4 Mikael Max, 5 Leigh Lanham, 6 Henning Bager, 7 Chris Schramm.
