Accrington Stanley v Notts County
Midfielder Ian Craney has been recalled from his loan spell at Accrington by Swansea, while goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin will continue between the posts as summer signing Kenny Arthur remains sidelined with a broken leg.
Defenders Phil Edwards and Sean Webb impressed in a reserve outing against Burnley and may come into contention for starting roles.
Craig Lindfield is expected to make his debut for Notts County after signing on loan from Liverpool.
Matt Somner serves a one-match suspension, while Mike Edwards (ankle) and Jason Lee (broken arm) remain out of contention.
Bradford v Brentford
Goalkeeper Rhys Evans has returned to Blackpool after a shoulder injury cut short his loan spell with Bradford, so Donovan Ricketts is expected to return.
Midfielder Paul Evans could return to the squad following the ankle injury that has sidelined him for three games and summer signing Peter Thorne (rib) is also hoping to feature.
Brentford midfielder John Mousinho missed the 1-0 victory over Lincoln through injury and will undergo a late fitness test.
Substitutes Sammy Moore and Ross Montague will be hoping for starting roles after coming off the bench to help Terry Butcher's side to victory last time out.
Bury v Barnet
Bury utility player Paul Scott is available again after serving a one-match ban for receiving five yellow cards during last week's draw at Macclesfield.
Striker Andy Bishop is pushing Andy Mangan and Glynn Hurst for a place in the starting XI as he is nearing full fitness after a series of injury problems.
Barnet club captain Ismail Yakubu is definitely out with a groin injury and teenage midfielder Josh Wright is a doubt after undergoing treatment for a hamstring injury.
Michael Leary (knee) and Kenny Gillet (metatarsal) could be involved after taking a full part in training this week.
Chesterfield v Morecambe
Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson has the luxury of a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Defender Kevin Gray (ankle) and forward duo Steve Fletcher (thigh) and Adam Smith (knee) got another run-out for the reserves this week as they continue to build up their fitness following injury.
Morecambe have signed utility player Ryan Cresswell on loan from Sheffield United and he goes straight into Sammy McIlroy's squad.

New Lincoln manager Peter Jackson is not expected to make any changes against Chester in his first game in charge.
Hamza Bencherif will continue in defence after having his loan spell from Nottingham Forest extended for another month.
Chester trio Nathan Lowndes, Simon Yeo and Tony Grant all played 90 minutes for City reserves in a heavy 5-0 defeat to Morecambe on Wednesday night, boosting their chances of being involved.
Long-term absentees James Vaughan (head), Glenn Cronin (metatarsal) and Gavin Ward (operation) all remain sidelined.
Mansfield v Macclesfield
Mansfield defender John Mullins is suspended after his red card at Shrewsbury with Lee Bell set to drop back from midfield to deputise.

John Doolan, Nathan Stanton and Lee Crooks have been doing extra fitness work but are still not ready for a return to the first team.
Dagenham will still be without midfielder Sam Sloma (groin), so David Rainford keeps his place in the midfield following his return from a similar injury.
Magnus Okuonghae played 90 minutes for the reserves in midweek following a groin problem, but he may not be risked just yet.
Rotherham v Grimsby
Rotherham defender Marc Joseph is back in contention following a kidney infection and returned to training during the week before gaining some match fitness with the reserves.
Fellow defender Liam King is also available again following a leg injury, but striker Derek Holmes remains sidelined with a fractured ankle and is facing a further six to eight weeks out.
Goalkeeper Gary Montgomery will make his first start for Grimsby against his former club with Phil Barnes serving a one-match suspension.
Midfielder Paul Bolland, who has missed the Mariners' last two matches, is not expected to make the squad due to his persistent ankle injury.
Stockport v Peterborough

Striker David McCracken misses the match through suspension after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season in last week's 2-2 draw with Chester.
