DAGENHAM & Redbridge hope to play their first game in three weeks against Brentford on Saturday.
The Daggers will be hoping the new year brings about a change in fortunes as they get back to the grind of their League One survival campaign.
John Still's men are still four points adrift of safety, despite registering a vital away win at Carlisle the last time they were in action.
Saturday's game could see the return of Daggers old boy Sam Saunders, who is hoping to recover from a hamstring injury. The winger made over 100 appearances for the Victoria Road outfit before moving to Griffin Park along with striker Ben Strevens and defender Danny Foster, both of whom dropped back into League Two with Wycombe Wanderers.
We on the sports desk believe the Daggers can eke a point out of their capital rivals, who have enjoyed something of a revival of late, conceding just once in their last four games and taking 10 points from 12.
Prediction: Brentford 1 Daggers 1
