Player-boss Steve Wilkes will also add John Whittaker and Jimmy Khan to his squad as the Anchormen aim to repeat last week's cup giantkilling when they thrashed Southport 4-0 in the Lancashire ATS Trophy semi-finals.

"If we play like we did against Southport then I don't fear anyone but it's all on the night," said Wilkes.

Accrington Stanley defender Paul Tomlinson is doubtful for the Reds UniBond Premier Division clash with Emley at the Crown Ground after picking up a knock in their stunning 4-0 victory over Gainsborough at the weekend. Dalton Steele will be looking for his first victory since taking up the Chorley hot-seat when the Magpies take on Guiseley at Victory Park.

And goalkeeper Ian Willcock should takeover from the suspended Paul Horridge for Ramsbottom United's NWTL First Division encounter with Maine Road at the Riverside. All matches kick-off at 7.30pm.
