Long-term absentees Ryan Semple (knee) and Liam Parker (ankle) are still on the sidelines meaning the 16 players on duty for the 3-2 defeat at Colwyn Bay two weeks ago will once again be in contention — supplemented by joint manager Jason Lee and back-up keeper Ricky Drury.

The Pilgrims will be chasing a first-ever victory at Rivacre Park following a 1-0 defeat and a 0-0 draw at the Ellesmere Port venue in the past.

United Live will be in operation for Pilgrims’ fans unable to make the long journey to the northwest. Coverage will get under way around 7.00pm on Tuesday evening.

Stay tuned to bufc.co.uk on Tuesday morning for a full match preview.
