Plymouth Argyle vs AFC Fylde preview - Kellett free to face Fylde

Plymouth have been handed a pre-match boost with the news that Andy Kellett can face Flyde.

The 20-year-old left wing-back has shone during his three games in the starting line-up since arriving on loan from Bolton but his initial deal did not include the possibility of an FA Cup appearance. However, the Trotters have given him the green light to feature after talks between the clubs.

In contrast, midfielder Bristol City loanee Bobby Reid will not be available so John Sheridan will be forced into at least one change to his starting line-up at Home Park.

Lee Cox and Oliver Norburn look to be competing to take Reid's spot in midfield.

Vanarama Conference South side Fylde will be without skipper Brad Barnes for the trip after he saw red in the last round against King's Lynn.

However, there is good news for boss Dave Challinor who welcomes back midfielder Tom Eckersley from a long-term injury.

Matty Blinkhorn is also set to feature, despite the manager revealing he was awaiting results of a scan after he took a knock against Boston last week.

The club are otherwise at full-strength and looking to bounce back after the 3-1 defeat to Boston ended a run of 14 games unbeaten which has seen them rise to second in the table.
