Chris Agutter has made two changes to the side that drew with Aldershot Town on Boxing Day.
The two latest recruits, Davide Rodari and Omari Mrisho have both dropped to the bench as the Head Coach has opted for a couple pairs of fresh legs, with Brandon Njoku and Junior Eccleston returning to the side.
Eccleston, who has served his three-game ban, flanks a midfield of Kai Jennings and Jake Taylor alongside David Ogbonna on the other side, in front of a backline of Jake Taylor, Hayden Muller and Will Tizzard, will Agutter having to contend with an injury crisis throughout his team.
In attack, Lewis Simper and Jayden Harris once again take up their position behind a lone striker, will Njoku returning to make his first start in a month, last playing 90 minutes against Southampton in the National League Cup, and having returned to action from the bench on Friday.
