Everything you need to know ahead of Saturday's trip to West Sussex.
Phoenix are back on the road on Saturday (3pm), traveling to West Sussex to take on Broadbridge Heath FC.
Darren Anslow’s side secured a hard-fought win against fellow strugglers Steyning Town on Saturday, recording their first league clean sheet of the season in the process. They will be looking for their fourth win in five games.
Littlehampton’s defeat against Sittingbourne in midweek means Phoenix are now only inside the relegation zone on goal difference, with both sides having nine games left to play.

Phoenix will be without Richard Pingling for the next five games and Jamarie Brissett for the next three after both players were sent off for their part in an altercation in the final seconds at Steyning. Central defender Will Grieveson is once again available for selection following his own suspension.
THE OPPOSITION
Broadbridge currently sit 12th in the Isthmian South East table, 14 points off the play-offs and 17 points clear of the relegation zone. They’ve drawn three of their last five games, including a dramatic 3-3 draw with Erith at the start of March.
Chris Simmons’ side have been relying on the goals of Mark Goldson, who has had an impressive season for Broadbridge, firing in 17 goals, including three in his last six games.
