The fixture has already been postponed twice over the last ten days - leaving the hosts inactive for more than a fortnight.Recent loan signing Ben Gibson is ineligible for them due to arriving from Middlesbrough after the date of the original game.Meanwhile, midfielder Scott Brown is suspended for a third match after being sent-off when the two clubs met last month.Defenders David McGurk and Jamal Fyfield are also missing through injury but leading scorer Jasn Walker could return from recent groin trouble."We’ve got to earn that right by winning games. We cannot underestimate what a big game this is for Ebbsfleet either," York manager Gary Mills told The Press.“They won the Trophy in 2008 and they know what it’s like to do that.“They might think it’s the only thing they’ve got to play for in terms of being successful this season, although success for a club of their resources is perhaps finishing in mid-table.“We’ve got to overcome their hunger and show it means more to us than them," he warned.“It’s a massive game because this competition gives you that chance to play at Wembley." Ebbsfleet were expected to give a debut to on loan Reading striker Gozie Ugwu after Michael West underwent a hernia operation yesterday. Ram Marwa and Giannoulis Fakinos are similarly ruled out.The eventual winners travel to Grimsby Town in the quarter-finals.
