Port Vale:
Port Vale are preparing for the penultimate home game of the campaign and this will be one of the big hopes for the team in the efforts to stay clear of relegation trouble.

Aidan Stone, William Forrester, Nathan Smith, Aaron Donnelly, Malvind Benning, David Worrall, James Plant, Tom Conlon, Gavin Massey, Daniel Butterworth, James Wilson
