Gillingham play host to Lincoln City at Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Gills are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 21 games.

The last time the two teams met at Gillingham was back in March 1999, over five years ago, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League Division Two match.
