Noel Hunt continues to be troubled by the groin problem which has sidelined him for the past five matches.

Adam Buxton (ankle) and Drew Talbot (hamstring) remain absences as the right-back duo battle back from injury.

For Plymouth, Derek Adams is expected to retain the same side which won at Stevenage last weekend.

The Pilgrims have won nine and drawn one of their past 10 league matches to establish themselves as early pacesetters at the top of League Two.
