Michael Gash will make a return to the dugout for the fixture having replaced Phil Brown as manager during the week, with Brown taking on the role as director of football.

Luca Miller is the club’s top scorer this season with 11 goals in the league this season including netting the Turbines’ second goal against Southport in October.
