Team news
Manager Keith Downing adds loan signing Dean Sinclair to his squad but will be without Ben Gill, scorer of a goal in each of the last two games, through suspension. Craig Armstrong and David Bird are fitness doubts.

Unbeaten Oldham look set to name a similar squad to the one that defeated Leeds United at Elland Road last week including former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley, Welsh international Neal Eardley, veteran former Wigan Athletic forward Andy Liddell, ex-West Brom striker Lee Hughes and wide player Chris Taylor, who scored both goals in the win at Leeds.

Match officials
Andy Haines from Tyne and Wear will take charge of the game. He is in his second year as a Football League referee and has so far issued only one red card. His previous two matches this season were Rotherham United v Lincoln City and Huddersfield Town v Bradford City in the Carling Cup.
