Margate kick start their Emirates FA Cup campaign as they welcome Thame United to Hartsdown Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Blues will be looking to progress to the second qualifying round as well as remain unbeaten after two wins and two draws from their opening four league games.
Thame United, based in Oxfordshire travel to Hartsdown Park having endured a poor start to their Southern League Division Once Central campaign after losing three of their opening four league games.
Thame’s only win this season so far has come in the Emirates FA Cup extra-preliminary round as they comfortably saw off Thatcham Town 2-0.
Margate could name the same eleven that beat Cray Wanderers 2-1 on Bank Holiday Monday, however it remains to be seen if Blues Manager Jay Saunders will give a debut to Midfielder Bivesh Gurung who signed for the club after receiving international clearance on Thursday.
Supporters should note that season tickets are not valid for this fixture and tickets must be purchased either on-line or can be purchased via cash or card at the turnstiles on Saturday when they open at 1:30pm.
Kick off at Hartsdown Park is scheduled for 3pm.
