Bulls boss Graham Turner will mull over whether to give an immediate recall to talismanic keeper Wayne Brown after missing eight games or retain loan keeper Scott Tynan, who has failed to get the same level of understanding with the defence. Turner was unable to get a reserve match to test Brown's fitness in the week. Sam Gwynne is available again after suspension but is unlikely to make the 16, with Turner likely to shuffle the deck again to find the magical combination though he will wait on the fitness of Trent McLenahan (head) and Rob Purdie (knee) before making decisions.
Bury hope to welcome back striker Andy Bishop after two games out with a knee injury. The Shakers have failed to score in his absence. Midfielder Marc Pugh should also be available after a knee injury, but doubts remain over Richie Baker who picked up a knock on Tuesday.
Best Odds: Bulls 10/11, Draw 23/10, Bury 10/3.
