The Robins will check on midfielder Anthony Grant, who has been carrying an ankle problem.

Forward Tyler Smith has been sidelined with a groin injury, which has ruled him out of the last two games, while winger Diallang Jaiyesimi, Jordan Lyden and Dion Conroy continue their rehabilitation.

Darlington beat Cambridge City 2-0 to secure their place in the first round proper.

Midfielder Will Hatfield could come back into the squad after recovering from a hamstring problem.

David Atkinson is still not fit, while midfielder Erico Sousa is ineligible having already played for Tadcaster earlier in the competition.
