Bury v Hereford
Andy Warrington looks to have established himself as Bury's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of their match against Hereford.

Alan Fettis had been deputising between the sticks for the Shakers while Warrington's thigh injury was healing, but the former Doncaster custodian reclaimed his spot in the weekend's 2-0 defeat to high-flying Hartlepool.

Brian Barry-Murphy could also miss out after picking up a hamstring injury in that match.

Irish defender Barry-Murphy hobbled out ten minutes into the second half and will be examined again on Tuesday the morning but the 28-year-old is unlikely to be risked.

Manager Chris Casper has no other injuries or suspensions as he attempts to end a seven-match winless run which stretches back to before Christmas.

Hereford boss Graham Turner is set to keep faith with new signings Steve Guinan and Ben Smith.

Turner re-signed former Bulls players Guinan and Smith last week and both played a major part in Saturday's 3-2 win over Notts County at Edgar Street, with Guinan scoring twice and Smith making two goals.

That win ended a four-game winless streak for Turner's side and he will be hoping they can continue their climb up League Two with another victory.

Fellow new-boy Danny Thomas failed to make the squad for Saturday's win but may come into contention for the visit to Gigg Lane.

Tamika Mkandawire played the full 90 minutes against the Magpies after recovering from a groin strain and is set to retain his place the side.

Turner is also boosted by the return of midfielder Andy Ferrell from suspension and has no new injury worries.

Macclesfield v Walsall
Robbie Doyle is set for his Macclesfield debut when the League Two strugglers host leaders Walsall.

Doyle, a former Ireland Under-21 striker, joined the Silkmen until the end of the season but missed out on making the squad for the weekend's 2-0 defeat to Swindon.

Fellow new boy Nathan D'Laryea did make his bow against Paul Sturrock's side and the defender should keep his place after impressing despite the loss.

Danny Swailes and Matty McNeil didn't make the 16 against the Robins and manager Paul Ince must decide whether to reinstate them at the expense of Martin Bullock and John Miles.

Rob Scott (calf) could miss out but Jonny Brain, Andrew Teague and Jimmy McNulty (all broken leg) are definitely sidelined.

Walsall boss Richard Money is set to be without defender Ian Roper.

The 29-year-old was stretchered off with a knee injury during the first-half of Saturday's draw with Boston after falling awkwardly and is set for a spell on the sidelines.

Anthony Gerrard made his return from a head injury to replace Roper in that game and is set for a return to the starting line-up against Ince's side.

Darren Wrack is slowly working his way back to fitness following his hamstring injury and after playing 60 minutes of a reserve team game last week, he could return to the bench.

The Saddlers' lead at the top of Coca-Cola League Two was cut to just a point on Saturday and they will be looking to get back on track by defeating the Silkmen.

Mansfield v Torquay
Mansfield manager Billy Dearden will be without striker Barry Conlon for the visit of rock-bottom Torquay.

Conlon, who scored in each of his first three games for the Stags since moving from Darlington, marked his fourth appearance at Chester on Saturday with a red card for violent conduct inside the opening 10 minutes and starts a three-game ban.

Michael Boulding is expected to come in to partner Martin Gritton in attack while Dearden's defensive options could be boosted by the return of Johnny Mullins.

The right-back missed the 1-1 draw against City with a stud-puncture wound in his leg but is back in contention, while Alex-Jean Baptiste came through the 90 minutes successfully after his back injury and will continue.

Midfielder Giles Coke remains a month away from a return after surgery on his knee and Danny Reet (ankle) remains short of match fitness.

Jake Buxton picked up his fifth booking of the season at Chester but is available to face the Gulls.

Leading scorer Jamie ward is Torquay's main injury concern.

Ward suffered a recurrence of a niggling knee injury after volleying the fourth-minute opener in the Gulls' 4-1 home win over relegation rivals Grimsby on Friday.

Lee Thorpe's hat-trick ended a 19-match club-record sequence without a league win. Ward's first-half replacement was Jamal Easter, the on-loan Cardiff striker, and he could start.

Fellow loanees Kevin Miller and Mark Robinson made their debuts against the Mariners and are expected to keep their places.

Kevin Hill tonsillitis faces a late fitness test.

Notts County v Barnet
Notts County boss Steve Thompson will have on-loan Sheffield United midfielder Ian Ross available for the visit of Barnet after completing a deal to keep the 21-year-old at Meadow Lane until the end of the season.

Ross returned to Bramall Lane two weeks ago after a successful six-month loan spell with the Magpies. He has already made 31 appearances this season, scoring one goal, and will go straight back into the squad for the clash with Paul Fairclough's side.

However, Thompson will be without defenders David Pipe and Dan Gleeson through suspension.

Pipe serves the final game of a three-match ban following his sending off against Accrington, while Gleeson will serve a one-match ban after picking up his fifth caution of the season in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Hereford.

Fellow defender Stephen Hunt is also set to miss out with a groin injury, but Austin McCann may return following a thigh injury,

Strikers Junior Mendes and Tcham N'Toya are pushing for places in the starting line-up after returning to the bench against Hereford.

Barnet remain without the services of suspended duo Ian Hendon and Dean Sinclair.

Defender Hendon and midfielder Sinclair serve the second matches of their three and four-game bans respectively, after their red cards against MK Dons earlier this month.

Nicky Bailey, who captained the side in the 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Plymouth on Saturday, picked up his fifth booking of the season in the process but is free to face the Magpies - his suspension kicks in on Saturday.

Striker Giuliano Grazioli (ankle) is still not fit, while goalkeeper Lee Harrison remains sidelined with a thigh injury.

Adam Goss has not played a first-team game in 2007 because of a knock to his ankle, but did turn out in a reserve game last week so could feature.

Striker Ollie Allen could make his full debut after coming off the bench for a brief appearance against the Pilgrims.

Peterborough v Swindon
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson is hoping to have new signing Craig Mackail-Smith available for their clash with promotion-chasing Swindon at London Road.

Striker Mackail-Smith joined Posh in a double deal which also brought defender Shane Blackett to the club from Conference side Dagenham.

Blackett is definitely available but a club spokesman confirmed they are awaiting confirmation over Mackail-Smith.

He said: ``The paperwork for Shane's move has gone through so he will be available but we're just waiting for confirmation to hear that Craig can play.''

Midfielder Micah Hyde has a bruised ankle but is expected to be fit enough to play while centre-back Craig Morgan has shown no ill-effects to a recent knee injury and will continue in defence.

Defender Guy Branston overcame a hamstring problem to play against Lincoln but limped out during the second half of the 1-0 defeat with a calf injury and is doubtful for the game.

South African centre-back Mark Arber comes back into the squad after serving a one-match suspension.

Swindon manager Paul Sturrock will pick from the same pool of players that beat Macclesfield on Saturday.

The Robins moved to within one point of league leaders Walsall with their 2-0 weekend win and could usurp the Saddlers at the top of League Two if results go their way on Tuesday evening.

Jamie Vincent is still out with a fractured cheekbone. The defender is set to resume training this week but he is not expected to be back in first-team contention until mid-February.

Midfielder Paul Evans (leg) is close to a comeback but this game comes too soon for him.

Wrexham v Stockport
Wrexham could hand debuts to on-loan duo Cherno Samba and Robert Garrett for the visit of Stockport.

Plymouth striker Samba, 21, arrives from Plymouth on a month's loan, while midfielder Garrett, 18, has joined for the same period of time from Stoke.

Wrexham boss Brian Carey is expected to name Samba on the bench and rookie Garrett should also be named among the substitutes at least.

The relegation-threatened Dragons are definitely missing three other players in Juan Ugarte, Neil Roberts and Mark Jones.

Striker Juan Ugarte is nursing a hamstring problem while fellow forward Roberts is still out with an ankle injury and midfielder Jones remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Wrexham have taken just two points from their last five games and lie just one point ahead of second-bottom Grimsby.

Stockport manager Jim Gannon is able to choose from the same squad that beat play-off rivals Wycombe last time out.

Anthony Pilkington was substituted shortly after the hour mark in that 2-0 victory but should make the starting XI.

The Hatters have three long-term injury victims in Keith Briggs (broken leg), Michael Bowler (patellar tendon) and Michael Raynes (ankle), who are expected to remain on the sidelines for a number of weeks.

One player who could return is club captain Tony Dinning, who has been struggling with a muscle problem but may make the bench.

Young defender James Tunnicliffe, who has yet to feature in the league this year, could also make the list of substitutes after overcoming a knee injury.
