But how will John Mousinho go as he aims to secure promotion and the League One against Ian Evatt’s side?
There’s some big selection calls to make, not least in attack after starting with Kusini Yengi and Colby Bishop against Shrewsbury.
Right-back and the middle of the park are other areas worthy of consideration with it all up grabs in the north west.
Here’s how we think Mousinho will go in the promotion showdown.

Does Kusini Yengi start at the Toughsheet?
2. GK Will Norris

3. RB Joe Rafferty
Would be rough justice on Zak Swanson given how he continues to perform, but suspicion is Rafferty's greater experience will be trusted for this one. Photo: Jason Brown
4. CB Sean Raggett
