Top scorer Matt Tubbs has been ruled out of Crawley's trip to Darlington today.

The 14-goal marksman failed a pre-match fitness test on what is believed to be a back problem.

His absence means Richard Brodie starts up front alongside Craig McAllister with Jamie Cook the only striker on the bench.

Otherwise manager Steve Evans named the same line-up that comfortably won 5-0 at Guiseley in the FA Cup last Saturday.

Glenn Wilson's slight hamstrong problem did not prevent him from being on the bench.

Darlington, who go into this match on the back of four straight wins, include former Crawley striker Jefferson Louis.

Crawley: Kuipers; Hall, Mills, McFadzean, Rents; Neilson, Masterton, Bulman, Howell; McAllister, Brodie. Subs: Torres, Cook, Flood, Wilson, Jordan.

Darlington: Russell, Miller, Hatch, Hone, Brown, Senior, G.Smith, Moore, Brough, Bridge-Wilkinson, Louis. Subs: Arnison, Main, Waite, Gray, Wright.
