PREVIEW: EDINBURGH v PLYMOUTH (Champ)

EDINBURGH wrap up their home Championship campaign tonight (Friday) against play-off rivals Plymouth.

Both sides still need points to secure a top-six finish, with the Gladiators boosting their hopes with a narrow home win over Birmingham on Tuesday.

The Monarchs are without skipper Sam Masters due to collarbone and shoulder injuries, with Richard Lawson stepping in as guest at No.1.

Plymouth track Leon Flint in place of Edward Kennett and bring in Tom Woolley at No.2, but Michael Palm Toft and Hans Andersen are both due back from injury.

Monarchs boss Alex Harkess said: “Over the second half of the season our home form has been good, we’ve beaten Poole and Glasgow twice, but it is essential that we keep that going.

“It would be nice to go to Oxford in our last fixture assured of a play-off place, but if we need to get something I am sure we can.”

EDINBURGH: Richard Lawson, Lasse Fredriksen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Josh Pickering, James Sarjeant, Jacob Hook.
PLYMOUTH: Leon Flint, Tom Woolley, Ben Barker R/R, Michael Palm Toft, Hans Andersen, Ben Morley, Harry McGurk.
