Notts County and Barnet have met each other just 14 times over the years. The first fixture came on 1 November 1997, with the Magpies earning a 2-1 away win in Division 3.
Notts have 8 wins against the Bees, with 3 defeats and 3 draws.
The last fixture was the league reverse n 24 November 2015, with the Magpies winning 4-2 at Meadow Lane.
Luke Gambin could be in line for a return to the Barnet starting XI after coming on as a substitute in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Wycombe and contributing to their recovery from a goal down.
Gavin Hoyte remains injured and will again miss out despite edging closer to a return.
Shaun Batt, meanwhile, is among those pushing to start should manager Martin Allen be tempted to tweak his line-up.
Notts County will once more check on Curtis Thompson after the midfielder missed the last three matches through injury.
Magpies manager Mark Cooper saw his side thrashed 5-0 at local rivals Mansfield Town on Saturday but insists he will not be making too many changes to the starting line up at The Hive.
"We don't have too many realistic opportunities or options to change the team, really," said Cooper. "There might be one or two changes but those who let the supporters down so badly on Saturday, and ruined a lot of people's weekends, will have to go out and try to put that right."
Thompson, if fit, could be one of the players to come into contention while Cooper also has the likes of Roy Carroll, Mawouna Amevor, Alan Smith, Adam Campbell and teenager Montel Gibson to call on.
