After picking up their maiden league victory, Rattle has backed his side to carry on this momentum in a contest that he has predicted to be tight.

He said: "We'll go into that game full of confidence and hoping to pick up more points.

"We've played them every year since we've been in the league and they've always been close games and I'm sure tomorrow's night game will be close, if not closer than before."

Rattle has also revealed that his side are hoping to receive a boost as players come back from injury.
