Stenhousemuir are the first foots at Bayview Stadium tomorrow as East Fife aim to continue their winning run into 2017. Speaking earlier today, manager Barry Smith was under no illusions about the task ahead.
"It was good to defeat the league leaders last week but we need to ensure that we don't drop the standards we have set for ourselves. I expect another tough game from Stenhousemuir."
The Bayview Gaffer also provided an update on the injury situation with Tony Wallace, Ryan Goodfellow and Kyle Wilkie all sidelined. Scott Mercer, however, returns to the squad, while a decision is still to be made on Kevin Smith and Chris Duggan who are both back in full training.
Both sides have recorded away wins in the earlier meetings between the sides with the men from Ochilview securing the points with a 1-0 victory in October and the Fifers winning by the same margin before Christmas through a Kevin O'Hara goal.
Supporters of both clubs are reminded that they are welcome to enjoy pre and post match refreshments in the Stadium bars.
