Stevenage
- Full-backs Kjell Knopps and Adam Yates remain sidelined along with goalkeeper Rob Lainton, while Tom Pope has had surgery after suffering a hernia problem.
- The latter has been replaced up top by Anton Forrester, who grabbed the equaliser in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Barnet, but the forward will provide a different type of threat to Pope.
- Neil Aspin has been encouraged by recent performances and could name an unchanged side.
- Alex Revell serves the final of his four-game suspension this weekend, so Danny Newton should start up top with Matt Godden a fitness doubt.
- Chris Whelpdale is back from a long-term injury while Dale Gorman, another man recovering, has been in and out of the 18; Ronnie Henry is a doubt but may behind Terence Vancooten in the pecking order anyway.
- Ben Wilmot has been named in the England Under-19s squad, so the versatile Fraser Franks could take his place at centre-back.
