Crawley Town will be hoping to pick up three points as they continue their battle against League Two relegation against Shrewsbury Town at the Broadfield Stadium.
With just three games left of the season, Reds sit 21st in the table and just a point clear of the relegation zone.
But with Barrow losing 3-1 to Walsall, Reds will have been given a boost before kick-off.
Colin Kazim-Richards’ side have lost their last two outings but will be looking to bounce back. With Kellan Gordon going off injured against Bristol Rovers, Louie Watson comes in as his replacement as the only change from the Bristol Rovers defeat.
Ryan Loft returns to the squad on the substitutes bench.
The Shrews mathematically secured safety last week with a win over Oldham and are currently 19th.
The other key matches for Reds fans to look out for are Harrogate Town v Colchester United and Newport County travelling to Cheltenham.
