Match Preview
Campbell eager for derby points Lowly Forfar host high-flying neighbours Arbroath with midfielder Barry Sellars included in their squad for the first time since joining the club for a third time. Chris Hegarty misses out through suspension, however, as eighth meets second in the Scottish Second Division. Manager Dick Campbell said: "I know what my team will be and I am fairly sure I know what their team will be so I want to get it started. "This is a big game for us as I believe we can still climb the table and get to the play-offs and it is a big game for them if they want to challenge (leaders) Cowdenbeath. "With no injuries this is the strongest we have been all season and now I want to use that strength to hit a high consistent level." Arbroath will include Chris Innes in their squad for the short trip. The former Kilmarnock, Dundee United and Inverness defender, 35, joined the club this week and may start as Beau Busch has picked up a knock. Busch could join injured duo Michael White and Jordan Elfverson on the sidelines. Red Lichties manager Paul Sheerin said: "This is a tough game in a tough week in a tough month. They will be really keen to move up the league and Dick Campbell (Forfar boss) will have them fired up so we need to stay strong. "We have to ensure that we play our normal game and not been harried out of things due to the frantic nature of a derby occasion."
