Chris Lever and Andy Owens back for AFC Telford

Lever is set to start tonight after regaining fitness from the groin injury that has kept him out of action this month, while Owens should be recalled to the bench.

The forward was left out of the 16 for Saturday's welcome 4-2 victory at home to Guiseley, with boss Liam Watson claiming he hadn't trained hard enough last week to earn a spot.

That result kept the Bucks third and firmly in the hunt for promotion, as they claimed their first win in four.

They now travel to take on sixth-placed Alty, two games into a run of three against sides they have yet to come across in the league this season.

And Watson said: "Every game is important now, when you look at the teams below you and the damage that they can do.

"Each time, it seems to be 'must-win.' But the simple fact is that isn't going to happen forever.

"There are a lot of heavy legs after Saturday, we go to Altrincham and it will be one where we mix it up. I don't like the term 'squad rotation,' because that sounds like we have got too big a squad.

"What we have got is a group of players who can actually all be in contention to start a game and they have all got to be up for it.

"It's not about getting there individually, it's about getting there as a group."

Watson has long memories of Alty's standing as a big non-league club, going all the way back to playing against them during his career on the field in the 1990s.

The 43-year-old has come across them on various occasions as a manager, too, so is all too aware of the pitfalls a trip to Moss Lane could present for his side.

He said: "When I was growing up, Alty were always a big club. I think they called themselves the Manchester United of non-league or something like that!

"I remember playing against them for Runcorn and Witton Albion as a player and they were always big occasions.

"I have some great times and some bad times there. They are a good football club."
