Team News

Midfielders James Bailey and Keith Treacy are doubts after playing on Tuesday night with tight groins but Dale Jennings returns following his three-match suspension.

Goalkeeper Ross Turnbull should be fit enough to at least take a place on the bench whilst new strikers Kane Hemmings and Devante Cole are pushing for places after making their debuts from the bench in midweek.
