Full-back Tom Clifford will hope to force his way into the starting line-up after returning from injury as a substitute at Brunton Park.
Fellow defender Harry Lennon has yet to feature this season as he builds his fitness following a calf injury.
Jake Turner could return in goal for Morecambe after he was ineligible for the 7-0 Carabao Cup hammering at the hands of his parent club Newcastle.
