And Bulldogs' boss Gary Thornton is likely to be boosted by the return of Jonny Simpson, Anthony Henderson and David Rourke as he searches for three vital points.

But Martin McLoughlin (shoulder) will be missing for the rest of the season after being ruled out for up to six weeks.

Andy Gorski (wrist) is likely to be missing from Shaun Gartland's Rochdale squad but the Hornets boss is promising plenty of pride from his troops.

Rochdale gave a strong performance against Whitehaven a fortnight ago and Gartland is looking to continue that form.

He said: "We were disappointed with the result, but not with the performance. Our spirit was fantastic and that's been the case since I came here - the lads have always given everything they've got."
