NICK Holmes will wait until the last moment before naming his Salisbury City team for today's Southern League Premier Division match with Gloucester City.
"We've got some walking wounded around here" Holmes admitted earlier in the week.
A handful of players will undergo late fitness tests today as Holmes assesses the situation.
One player definitely out is midfield general Tommy Widdrington who serves the second game of a two-match suspension.
Whites are nine-points clear at the top of the table and now odds on favourites for automatic promotion to the Conference South.
With four games still to play, they need just four points to be crowned champions. However, should they beat Gloucester and other results go their way, they could be celebrating in front of their own fans today.
But Holmes won't hear of any premature celebrations. "We've still got work to do. I won't be doing any celebrating until we win it."
Another sizeable crowd is expected at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium and supporters are urged to arrive early to avoid any possible travel problems due to Bank Holiday weekend traffic in the Salisbury area.

we won 2.0
but bath won 2.1 at evesham so it's a road trip to devon on monday to see if we can get that last point at tiverton...
weird atmosphere - we're all but there given the goal difference and the players did a lap of honour after the game but the old bugger in me says don't celebrate until it's a mathematical certainty....
