Marske United manager Charlie Bell has told his players that they have nothing to fear when they take on Marlow for a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Carlsberg Vase this afternoon.

Marske head south confident they can continue their dream run and set up another big day for the club.

Bell said: "We must be professional in the way we go about the game and keep our shape and concentration. If we don't set our stall out properly, then we'll go out.

"I've seen Marlow play. They're a big side and could cause problems at set pieces, but we're good enough to beat them."

Bell expects to choose from a full squad and might be tempted to call Ben Thompson back into the starting line up.

Bedlington head for Leicestershire to take on Oadby Town.

Joint manager Tony Lowery will be without central defender Martin Kirkby because of injury, but otherwise they will be close to full strength.

"We know Oadby are a good and well-organised side," he said. "They have reached the last 32 in the last three years.

"We mustn't underestimate them. They come from a league which has three clubs in the last 16."

Spennymoor United will be without five players when they take on Runcorn at the Brewery Field if the pitch passes a 9.30 inspection.

Moors are desperate for a win following last week's defeat by second bottom Frickley and they are now 12 points away from safety.

Andy Howarth, Gary Andison, Matthew Cook and Jon King are all missing, as well as central defender Rob Jones, whose foot injury, which was sustained at Frickley last week, is not as bad as first feared.

Bishop Auckland are without a game today.

l Southampton manager Glenn Hoddle believes Dan Petrescu's transfer from Bradford has revived the Romanian international's career.

Petrescu will line up against his old club, a thigh injury permitting, at The Dell and the former Chelsea man is determined to show Bradford what they are missing

Hoddle is delighted with his new signing's form saying: ''Dan has a spring in his step at the moment. Ever since he came here his attitude has been excellent and is a good role model for our younger players.

''He cost us nothing. ''If we had signed him last summer before Bradford got him ahead of us we would have had to pay £800,000 so we have done well out of it.''
