Chelmsford v Salisbury is Dutton's 100th match

Salisbury will make the 280-mile round trip to Essex this weekend to take on Chelmsford City in the Vanarama National League South.

The game will mark Brian Dutton's 100th competitive match as a manager.

The Whites come into the game after their first defeat since early September when Weston-super-Mare won two-nil at the Ray Mac on Tuesday evening.

Two goals in the second half were enough to end Salisbury's unbeaten run, but the game was not without controversy. A Josh Hedges goal was ruled out unjustly for offside, and the same assistant made a further questionable decision by not flagging offside for Weston's opener.

The result leaves Salisbury 15th in the table on 16 points, the same amount as Chelmsford, who have played one game less.

Chelmsford's last two games have come against two sides near the top of the table: Hemel Hempstead and Farnborough. They drew with Hemel on Monday evening, the game ending in a 2-2 draw.

Chelmsford came from behind early on in the first half and then took the lead early in the second. The Clarets were unable to capitalise on the chances they created, and Hemel levelled with 20 minutes left of the game. Neither side were able to break the deadlock.

Both sides will be looking to get back to winning ways in this mid-table tussle.

Whites' boss Dutton has won 41, drawn 24 and lost 34 in his 99 games in charge so far.
