The Reds welcome back Tony Vaughan, Antony Kay and Matt Carbon from injury and all three could play against League Ones's leading scorer James Hayter.
Paul Hart is still without Steve McPhail (knee), Neil Austin (foot) and Michael Boulding (illness) while Jacob Burns and Chris Shuker are suspended.
Daniel Nardiello took a knock in the reserves midweek win over Tranmere but should be fit for a place on the bench. If not, youngsters Nathan Jarman or Nathan Joynes may get their Reds debut.
