Preview

York head into gameweek eight looking to end a run of three games without a victory in all competitions. The National League champions' 2-0 League Two defeat to Chesterfield is sandwiched between two winless outings in the EFL Trophy.

Substitute attacker Sheldon Kendall scored twice from the bench against Bristol Rovers last weekend as Gillingham secured an impressive 3-0 win against the former league leaders. Gareth Ainsworth's side have won three straight games in League Two heading into Saturday's contest.
