Arbroath welcome East Fife tonight without central defenders Ian Dobbins and Steven Rennie who missed Saturday's 4-1 loss to Peterhead and remain sidelined. There is still some doubt over injured midfielder Jamie Redman who may make it for the game. Arbroath are keen to end an unwelcome run of poor form that has seen them play six games in all competitions without a win to show for their efforts. 

On the other hand, visitors East Fife player/manager Steve Crawford is looking to his players to extend their unbeaten run to four league games. While Paul Nugent remains on the sidelines and the availability of goalkeeper Stewart Baillie, who has also been struggling with injury, is still unclear, Crawford is hoping to have a virtually full-strength squad to pick from as he has no other injury or suspension worries.
