They will be without Shad Ogie due to suspension, while Tim Dieng remains sidelined with a knee injury. Ashley Nadesan is also likely to miss out due to an ankle injury. However, Scott Malone returns from suspension, bolstering the squad.
On the other hand, Notts County may make changes following their 4-1 defeat to Mansfield last weekend. However, the squad is likely to remain the same with no publicised injury or suspension concerns.
