Centre-back Jack Baldwin returns to the starting line-up in place of right-back Michael Smith. It looks like Marcus Maddison or Callum Chettle, and teenager Lewis Freestone will be starting the game in wing-back positions.

Rovers, who need to win the game to maintain hopes of an end-of-season play-off place, have named a very attacking line-up.
