Team News:

Steve Evans is set to make several changes following the 2-2 draw against Bolton on Saturday. Bailey Akehurst, Aaron Chapman, Gerald Sithole, Harvey Lintott, Ben Reeves, Olly Lee and Charlie Kelman could all start.

A win for Gills would put them through to the next round of the competition. However a defeat would mean the club are unable to qualify.

Pierre-Emmanuel Ekwah Elimby could return from suspension after his sending off against Ipswich. Krisztián Hegyi, Harrison Ashby, Jamal Baptiste and Keenan Appiah-Forson may all start.

 

Manager Comments:

Steve Evans - “Tuesday will be of no interest to me other than watching what players demonstrate, by performance, they should be starting on a regular basis.

“Telling me in my office they deserve to start matches cuts no ice, they get in by performing on the grass.”
