George Thomason returns to the captain the side as Wanderers make four changes to their starting line-up to face table-topping Birmingham.
With Will Forrester missing out with a minor injury issue, Chris Forino also comes in to start his first league game since mid-September alongside the returning Eoin Toal in defence.
And there is also a first league start in almost exactly a year for forward Carlos Mendes Gomes following a lively substitute’s appearance at Wrexham on Saturday as Steven Schumacher’s men seek a fourth successive home league win.
Birmingham, 12 points clear at the top of the table and unbeaten in 18 league games, have top scorer Jay Stansfield back on the bench following three matches out with injury on their first visit to the Toughsheet Community Stadium since 2018.
