ACCRINGTON Stanley are hoping to be television stars on Saturday whenthey take on Conference leaders Grays Athletic live on Sky (Ko 12pm).

Grays have just equalled the Conference record of the best start to the season with 15 games unbeaten and if they beat the Reds they will claim the record for themselves.

But it is Stanley's 100th game in the Conference - and a win is all-important for the third placed Reds to keep tabs on the top two.

"It is the 100th game but it is only really worth something if we win," said boss John Coleman. "We have done reasonably well on television so far. We lost to Aldershot in our opening Conference game but since then we have beat Huddersfield and Bournemouth on penalties in the FA Cup and Halifax 
and Hereford in the league. We're going all out for a fifth win on Saturday."

The game also has special significance as Stanley captain Peter Cavanagh will miss the match as he will be at his brother, Anthony's, funeral.

Anthony, 22, never regained consciousness after a single blow to his head following a night out in Liverpool in September.

"The lads are going to wear special T-shirts with a message on for me and show them when we score," said the skipper, who hopes the Reds continue their record of scoring in every game so far this season.

"Knowing my luck it will be a goalless draw but I have just got that feeling that we will win on Saturday."

Coleman will give a late fitness test to defender Robbie Williams, who limped off with an ankle injury in the 1-1 draw with Worcester in  the FA Cup.
