Teesdale set to drop to bench

Ian Wright is very likely to start in tomorrow's FA Cup fourth qualifying round game against Arlesey Town, kick off 3pm.

The Hereford United captain will play with his wrist in a cast and the move will result in Richard Teesdale dropping to the bench.

United boss Graham Turner told the Evening News: "You see it so often with cup upsets that if you don't approach it right you can come unstuck. We've every right to expect to beat them but we need to put in a similar display to the one against Northampton."

Wing-back Matt Clarke could miss out with a dead leg but Ben Smith, the midfielder yet to feature this season, could play having successfully progressed through a friendly against Studley.

The winning side will be allocated ball number 72 in tomorrow's first round draw, which will be televised live on BBC1 at 5.15pm tomorrow.

On the betting front, skybet.com quote a United win at 2/7, an Arlesey victory at 7/1 and the draw is 7/2. In the Conference, Hereford are joint fourth favourites to win the title, alongside Dagenham & Redbridge and Morecambe.
