TRIVIA

Three managers oversaw wins over Salisbury last season – Jerry Gill, Lee Kendall and Darren Way. It’s the first time in Bath City’s history three different managers have achieved victories over the same club in a season.
City’s last three goals have been scored by substitutes – the longest run of substitutes only scoring since March 2019, when Ross Stearn netted a hat-trick from the bench at Hemel Hempstead Town.
Should they feature, Dan Greenslade will make his 150^th appearance for the Romans and Jordan Tillson his 50^th. Tillson’s first Bath City goal was here last season.

FORM

Salisbury are the first side in National League South history to open a campaign with two goalless draws.
Bath City have one point from two games but are unbeaten away since a 0-1 loss in March at Torquay United.
