Kidderminster Harriers midfielder James Vincent is set to make the trip to York for the televised Blue Square Premier game after recovering from a knee injury.

Vincent has missed the last five matches but trained on Friday and could join the squad, who head to Bootham Crescent today for the fixture, which is being screened live on Premier Sports tonight.

But striker Steve Guinan has emerged as a doubt after picking up a knock to the ankle, although the injury is not considered serious.

Former Aston Villa and England midfielder Lee Hendrie also returns after missing the two FA Trophy games with Vauxhall Motors as he was cup tied, along with goalkeeper Tony Breeden.

Fellow shot-stopper Dean Lyness still needs time to fully recover from a troublesome hip problem, so Breeden and Nathan Vaughan will vie to start between the sticks.

Harriers are looking to break into the play-off places ahead of the trip, where York sit fourth, although Steve Burr's men inferior goal difference means it will probably take more than one game.

But boss Burr believes the glare of the TV cameras should serve as an added incentive for Harriers.

He said: "It's an opportunity for the lads to put in a good performance and we know it's going to be a tough task.

"York is never an easy place to go but we are looking forward to it, because we are a good run of form at the minute.

"Lads coming back into the side has helped us but it's testament to the lads who have come in as well, they have done a good job.

"We are in for a tough game, York are having a good season and that doesn't surprise me, because they have invested heavily on the team."
