The Bulls will be without Wayne Brown and Glyn Thompson through injury. With Paul Harrison's departure, Scott Tynan is expected to continue in goal with Karl Lewis likely to return to the bench. There are minor doubts over both Tamika Mkandawire and Dean Beckwith but both are expected to be fit, though Alex Jeannin remains sidelined through suspension. New arrival Simon Osborn may get a chance but it is likely he will start from the bench.
Chester will be missing both Phil Bolland (shoulder) and Glen Cronin (foot) for the trip to Edgar Street. Kevin Sandwith is struggling with a hamstring problem, while Sean Hessey is suspended. New signing Ricky Ravenhill is likely to have to retain a place on the bench while Michael Branch is still not fit after missing most of pre-season due to fractured egos.
Best Odds: Bulls 7/5, Draw, 9/4, Chester 15/8.
