Roda JC coach Raymond Atteveld has warned his players to be on their guard when they face underperforming AZ Alkmaar on Saturday.
Roda are riding the crest of the wave having collected eight points from their last four Eredivisie games and secured a place in the semi-finals of the KNVB Beker.
AZ, by contrast, are without a win in eight and languishing in 11th place - four places and 11 points behind their opponents.
"It is clear that they are looking for a win," said Atteveld. "AZ have enough individual quality but they haven't managed so far to win a match.
"But there will come a point when they do succeed.
"That's why we must be totally sharp and give all we have, as it will be especially good if we beat AZ.
"Then it will be almost impossible for them to catch us."
They are without the suspended Jeanvion Yulu-Matondo, as well as injured trio Vincent Lachambre (heel), Sekou Cisse (hamstring), Andres Oper (Achilles).
AZ are still without long-term absentees Joey Didulica (concussion), Stijn Schaars (ankle), Maarten Martens and Gijs Luirink (both knee).
Milano Koenders (stomach) has been declared fit by the medical staff and is to train with the reserves on Saturday.
Coach Louis van Gaal kept training behind closed doors on Thursday and Friday, just as he did before last week's game against FC Twente.
He said: "I did that because I am still not satisfied.
"The training session on Thursday wasn't good, on Friday it was a tad better."
Van Gaal believes one result will start to bring belief back to his players.
"We need a win because that will give us something to hold on to," he said.
"These days you can even say that a draw will bring us that."

Blackpool boss Simon Grayson will again check on the fitness of on-loan Manchester City striker Paul Dickov ahead of the visit of Southampton.
Dickov has missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury but Grayson is hoping the veteran Scot will recover in time to face Saints on Saturday.
Should he fail to be passed fit then Grayson is likely to again pair Steve McPhee with Andy Morrell, though Ben Burgess is also pushing for a recall.
Skipper Michael Jackson remains sidelined due to torn hamstring but Grayson should have no other fresh worries as his men seek to extend their unbeaten run to four games.
The Seasiders are edging closer to securing safety after collecting seven points from their last three matches to move into the top half of the table.
Young goalkeeper Michael Pook could be handed his first ever Southampton start.
The 22-year-old made his Saints debut as a half-time substitute at Wolves on Tuesday after Kelvin Davis suffered a dislocated finger, and with Davis a doubt for the trip to the north west, he could be given the nod with Bartosz Bialkowski (thumb) a long-term absentee.
Inigo Idiakez will miss out but defender Gregory Vignal is able to play after his red card in the same game was rescinded on appeal.
Midfielder Andrew Surman and defender Alexander Ostlund have both returned to full training but are unlikely to force their way into Pearson's starting XI, while the Saints boss is expected to make late decisions on defenders Ian Pearce (ankle) and Darren Powell (calf).

Leicester captain Stephen Clemence will miss the visit of Championship leaders Bristol City.
The midfielder suffered a hamstring strain during the midweek home defeat to Preston and could also be ruled out of the trip to Southampton on Tuesday.
James Wesolowski would have been his replacement but the Australian has sustained a hamstring problem in training and will also miss out.
New loan signing Kelvin Etuhu is available to ease Ian Holloway's midfield worries. Etuhu joined the Foxes on Tuesday but was not signed in time to face Preston and he will challenge Iain Hume for a starting berth on the right-hand side of midfield.
Leicester are bidding to become the first time this season to complete a league double over the Robins after winning 2-0 at Ashton Gate in Holloway's first game in charge on November 24.
Bristol City defenders Louis Carey and Jamie McAllister are expected to be fit to travel to the Walkers Stadium.
Captain Carey, who has been struggling with a toe problem, came through 45 minutes for the reserves unscathed in midweek while McAllister has been receiving treatment for an injury he sustained in the second half against Charlton and could feature.
Fellow defender Bradley Orr will remain suspended for the clash after being hit with an additional one-match ban by the Football Association.
Orr was sent off in the 2-1 win at Colchester on February 23, triggering a two-match suspension which he has just completed.
However, the right-back has incurred a further ban and a fine after admitting a charge of using abusive and/or insulting words towards the match official after the final whistle at Layer Road last month.
Robins manager Gary Johnson admitted Orr would not have been involved against Leicester anyway after suffering an ankle injury playing for the reserves in midweek. Brian Wilson (Beach Boys ???) is expected to continue at right-back in his prolonged absence.

Doncaster striker James Hayter is back in contention for the home clash with Port Vale, but Jason Price and Steve Roberts are rated extremely doubtful.
Hayter has returned to full fitness following a hernia operation in early February, which ruled him our of Rovers' last seven matches.
Winger Price missed the midweek win at Bristol Rovers after damaging ankle ligaments against Tranmere last weekend and may miss out again.
Defender Roberts sustained a badly bruised foot at the Memorial Ground on Tuesday night and is also struggling.
Gareth Taylor and Stuart Elliott are pushing for their first starts for Rovers, while James O'Connor (hernia) is a long-term absentee.
Doncaster are looking to consolidate their position in second place after winning six of their last seven league matches.
Port Vale manager Lee Sinnott could call on striker Luke Rodgers.
The former Shrewsbury forward has missed the last two games with a stomach muscle injury but impressed for the Valiants' second string in midweek, netting in the 2-1 defeat to Shrewsbury.
His performance will give Sinnott a welcome selection dilemma up front, where Marc Richards and Kyle Perry will hope to have done enough to hold onto their places following last week's 3-0 defeat against Oldham.
One player certain to miss the game is Shane Tudor, who is ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury, while Keith Lowe could also miss out after hobbling off in the first half last week. Paul Edwards would be the most likely replacement.
An ankle problem again ruled Adam Eckersley out of the Latics clash but the defender could return to face Rovers.
Midfielder Robin Hulbert made his first-team return as a substitute last week after fracturing his collarbone last month and will hope to have done enough to earn a starting role.

* Luton wurden 10P. abgezogen, sonst mit 35P. auf dem 22. Rang

Luton manager Mick Harford welcomes back midfielder Steve Robinson for the trip to Southend.
Robinson has missed the last two games through suspension but is in contention to return as the seemingly-doomed Hatters look for a first win since New Year's Day.
Left-back Lewis Emanuel could also come back into the frame after his groin injury while Sam Parkin has fully recovered from his recent illness and is fit enough to start.
Stephen O'Leary has missed training with his own bout of illness but could be healthy enough to feature while Darren Currie (knee) and Don Hutchison (leg) made appearances for the reserves in midweek and could return to the squad.
Richard Langley (broken leg) and Paul Underwood - who is approaching two years out of action - remain long-term absentees while Paul Peschisolido has been ruled out for the season with an ankle injury.
Southend will be without Che Wilson after the full-back was ruled out for the rest of the season.
The former Norwich defender has been forced to undergo surgery on a troublesome Achilles injury this week.
On-loan Reading midfielder Hal Robson-Kanu has recovered from a hamstring strain and should be available after returning to training on Monday.
However, Saturday's clash comes too soon for Alex Revell, who is continuing with his rehabilitation after a hernia operation while fellow frontman Charlie MacDonald is back in training after overcoming an ankle injury.
Steve Tilson's men go into the clash looking to build on the seven points they have taken from their last three games in the hope of breaking into the play-off places.

- MKDons: bestes Auswärtsteam der Liga; können mit einem Sieg wieder Spitzenreiter werden; drei 0-1-Niederlagen in Folge im Januar; letzte sieben Spiele aber ungeschlagen (4 3 0 | A: 3 1 0); zuletzt 1-0 bei Grimsby (11.); davor ebenfalls 1-0 gg. Chester (17.) & 2-0 bei Barnet (20.) & 2x UE in Folge: 3-3 bei den Shrews (16.) & 1-1 gg. Rotherham (7.)

MK Dons welcome back captain Keith Andrews from suspension for the trip to in-form Chesterfield.
The Dons have beaten both Chester and Grimsby while Andrews has been sidelined, but the Irishman is expected to go straight back into Paul Ince's side's starting XI at the expense of Jordan Hadfield.
Striker Aaron Wilbraham shook off his knee problems to make a substitute appearance against the Mariners and comes into contention for a starting place while defender Drissa Diallo may also return after overcoming a hamstring strain.
Striker Kevin Gallen is a doubt after pulling out of the last two matches while free-scoring midfielder Mark Wright (hamstring) will probably have to wait until Saturday's clash with Dagenham for a return to action.
Paul Mitchell (broken leg) is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson could select the same starting XI that has won three successive matches.
An unchanged Spireites thrashed Lincoln 4-1 on Friday and will hope for a repeat of the 2-1 victory they inflicted on the promotion-chasing Dons in November.
That means striker Jack Lester could add to his tally of 24 goals this season, and on-loan Sheffield United midfielder Lloyd Kerry will start again after scoring his first goals for the club against the Imps.
Jamie Annerson, also on loan from Bramall Lane, could be named as a substitute if Richardson decides he wants a second goalkeeper on the bench as back-up to first-choice stopper Barry Roche.
Defender Peter Hartley continued playing after an early knock against Lincoln so Gregor Robertson (hip) is expected to be Chesterfield's only injury absentee.

Fitz Hall is likely return to the QPR line-up but Hogan Ephraim is out of Tuesday's game against Blackpool at Loftus Road.
Hall missed Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday with a groin injury but is fit to step back in at centre-half against the Seasiders, so Damion Stewart could make way.
Winger Ephraim begins a three-game ban, however, after his late sending-off at Hillsborough for a clash with Franck Songo'o.
Manager Luigi De Canio has an otherwise full squad to choose from and may tinker with his line-up following his side's weekend disappointment.
Midfielder Gavin Mahon got half an hour under his belt as a substitute after missing four games with a knee injury and will be pushing for a start.
Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has no fresh injury concerns as his side look to continue their impressive recent form.
The Seasiders travel to Loftus Road on the back of Saturday's encouraging 2-2 draw with Southampton - their fourth league game unbeaten - with Steve McPhee, Andy Morrell and Paul Dickov all vying for the Seasiders' two attacking berths.
Dickov proved his fitness enough to justify his inclusion in the weekend's starting XI and, despite being substituted in the second half, came through the game unscathed.
Captain Michael Jackson is the only long-term absentee as he remains sidelined with a torn hamstring injury as Grayson's men look to bolster their hopes of a late play-off charge.

* Luton wurden 10P. abgezogen, sonst mit 35P. auf dem 22. Rang

Scott Dobie faces a race against time to be passed fit for Carlisle's home clash against struggling Luton.
A virus prevented striker Dobie from featuring in Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton, and it remains to be seen whether the 29-year-old will return to action against the Hatters.
Boss John Ward may opt to deploy the same starting XI for the third game in a row should Dobie remain sidelined.
Joe Garner (knee) and Paul Thirlwell (ankle) remain Ward's only absentees while teenage striker Gary Madine could again come off the bench to feature for the third game on the trot.
Jeff Smith and Danny Carlton have also been called upon in recent weeks and will be hopeful of some involvement for the third-placed Blues.
Luton manager Mick Harford will have to play members of his side's youth team.
Left-back Alan Goodall and midfielder Steve Robinson have both been struck down by illness to add to Hartford's woes.
Teenagers Ryan Charles and George Beavan are set to feature against a side who have won their last 13 games at home.
Harford said: "We are carrying a lot of injuries and a lot of illness. We are coming up to Carlisle with 17 players and two of them are YTS players.
"We have lost a lot of players over the last week, but we carry on, keep battling away and never give up."
Darren Currie (knee) is not fit but will again be on the bench while Don Hutchison is at least a fortnight away from a return from his leg injury.
Richard Langley (broken leg) and Paul Underwood - who is approaching two years out of action - remain long-term absentees while Paul Peschisolido has been ruled out for the season with an ankle injury.

PortVale (22.); davor 4x in Folge auswärts: 1-0 bei den BristolR (17.) & davor ebenfalls 1-0 bei Tranmere (8.) & besagte Niederlage mit 0-1 bei Carlisle (3.) & 2-0 bei Bournemouth (22.); davor 2-0 gg. die BristolR (17.)

Jason Price and Steve Roberts will both return to Doncaster's squad for the home clash with Gillingham.
Price missed the weekend win over Port Vale due to an ankle injury, while defender Roberts sustained a badly bruised foot at Bristol Rovers last week.
Striker James Hayter is also back in contention for a return to the starting line-up following injury.
Hayter returned to the substitutes' bench against Port Vale after recovering from a hernia operation last month.
Manager Sean O'Driscoll, who has no other new injury or suspension worries, is still without defender James O'Connor (hernia), who is still working his way back following surgery.
But striker Lewis Guy, sidelined since the middle of last month with glandular fever, has returned to full training.
Gillingham boss Mark Stimson is poised to ring the changes to his starting XI.
Stimson chose Ian Cox to partner Simon King at the heart of defence in the 4-0 defeat at Hartlepool on Saturday and conceded after the match that it was a mistake to select the veteran Cox, so on-loan Reading youngster Adam Bygrave is likely to replace him at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Fellow centre-back Danny Cullip (hamstring) is unlikely to be passed fit, while Garry Richards is also unavailable as he serves the second of a three-match ban.
But right-back Sean Clohessy returns from a one-match ban and could oust Barry Fuller from the side, while first-choice goalkeeper Simon Royce could also return after missing the last two games because of illness.
Midfield duo Nicky Southall (hamstring) and Mark Bentley (Achilles) are close to returning as the Gills look to improve on a desperate run of form which has seen them win just once in their last 11 games - and concede four in each of their last three away games.

Bury (19.) & 2-0 bei Wrexham (24.) & 3-0 bei Macclesfield (22.) & 1-0 gg. Barnet (20.) & 2-1 bei Chesterfield (8.)

Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson will once again name an unchanged side as Posh seek their eighth win in a row at Brentford to forge ahead in the League Two title race.
Craig Mackail-Smith ended his eight-match goal drought in the 3-2 win over his former club Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday so will continue to partner Aaron Mclean in attack.
The duo have bagged 45 goals between them this season while George Boyd took his tally to 14 from the left-wing with the opener at the weekend.
Winger Josh Low is fit and healthy after a recent calf injury and a bout of illness but is again unlikely to make the matchday 16 while defender Kieran Charnock is the only definite absentee with his knee injury.
Brentford manager Andy Scott is set to name an unchanged side.
Scott's side ended a four-match losing streak on Saturday when Glenn Poole's late goal gave them a 1-0 win over Macclesfield and the same XI will start against Darren Ferguson's men.
On-loan Reading defender Alan Bennett will continue alongside Karleigh Osborne at centre-back after a fine debut on Saturday.
Defender Matt Heywood could miss the rest of the season after complications surrounding his rib injury and midfielder Kevin O'Connor (hamstring) is also still out.
Forward Ross Montague remains three weeks away from a return from a back injury but John Mousinho is fit again after his long-term knee injury.
Nathan Elder will hope to end his nine-game goal drought in attack.


Dag & Red (18.; 11 7 18 | 41 - 55) v Macclesfield (22.; 6 14 16 | 37 - 58) | 1.85 3.25 4.10

- DagnRed: im letzten Spiel 2-3 @home verloren gg. den Spitzenreiter aus Peterbro (1.); davor fünf Siege in Folge: 2-0 bei Bradford (13.) & 1-0 gg. Hereford (4.) & 2-0 gg. Morecambe (10.) & 4-1 bei Grimsby (11.) & 6-2 gg. Chester (17.)

- Macclesfield: ein Sieg aus den letzten zehn Spielen (1 4 5 | A: 1 2 2): am 09.02. mit 1-0 bei Morecambe (10.); somit letzte fünf Spiele nicht gewonnen (0 1 4 | A: 0 0 2); zuletzt 0-1 bei Brentford (12.); davor 1-1 gg. Notts (21.) & 0-3 gg. Peterbro (1.) & 1-3 bei Lincoln (14.) & 1-2 gg. Grimsby (11.)

Dagenham are still without defenders Danny Foster and Ross Smith ahead of the home game against Macclesfield.
Foster has had an injection in his groin injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least another week, and Smith has not trained after a bout of flu and will miss out again.
Boss John Still should therefore stick with the side which was only narrowly beaten 3-2 by leaders Peterborough on Saturday, a defeat which brought an end to the Daggers' five-game winning run.
Midfielder Richard Graham (hernia) and striker Paul Benson (leg) hope to play in a practice match this week to build up their fitness.
Back-up goalkeeper Ed Thompson has had a minor knee operation and will be out for a month.
Macclesfield manager Keith Alexander goes in search of his first win in charge without several key players.
Striker Martin Gritton remains short of match fitness as he continues his recovery from his hamstring injury and Malta international defender Luke Dimech is suspended.
The Silkmen conceded an injury-time goal to lose 1-0 at Brentford at the weekend and boss Alexander will be ruing the injury sustained by midfielder Terry Dunfield during that game.
Macclesfield's captain sustained a calf injury during his return from a two-match suspension on Saturday and could be ruled out for up to two weeks but on-loan Chester defender Sean Hessey came through the game unscathed.
However, defender Shaun Brisley will also be ruled out after he picked up a back problem against the Bees.

Cardiff boss Dave Jones is likely to choose from an unchanged squad for the visit of Hull to Ninian Park.
The Bluebirds put in one of their best performance's in recent memory on Sunday by sweeping aside Premier League Middlesbrough to reach the FA Cup semi-finals - and Jones could stick with the same side.
Winger Joe Ledley will again be missing with the hamstring problem which has ruled him out since hobbling off at Coventry last month.
Jones could hand a recall to fit-again midfielder Riccardo Scimeca who was left out of the 16-man squad to face Boro after making only his first start of the season in the previous game against Crystal Palace.
Darcy Blake, Trevor Sinclair and Steven Thompson staked their claims as second-half substitutes at the Riverside Stadium and will hope to have done enough to earn a starting berth this time around.
Long-term absentees Robbie Fowler (hip) and Warren Feeney (ankle) will again be sidelined.
Hull boss Phil Brown could name an unchanged line-up.
The Tigers swept Scunthorpe aside at the weekend by a 2-0 scoreline to move into sixth in the Coca-Cola Championship table and have no new injury or suspension worries ahead of the clash against the FA Cup semi-finalists.
They will again be without suspended duo Caleb Folan and Jay-Jay Okocha who serve the second of respective three-game bans for their red cards in last week's win over Burnley.
The Tigers are unlikely to be able to call on Dean Windass (knee) although the veteran frontman is closing in on a return to fitness.
The game is certain to come too soon for midfielder Nick Barmby (groin) but Bryan Hughes (knee) could return to the squad.

West Ham hope to have England defender Matthew Upson back from a calf problem for the visit of Blackburn.
Midfielder Luis Boa Morte is suspended following his red card in the defeat at Tottenham - the Hammers' third straight 4-0 loss - so Mark Noble could come in.
Julien Faubert, Danny Gabbidon, Matthew Etherington, Lee Bowyer and Craig Bellamy are all continuing their rehabilitation, but will not yet be back in first-team contention.
Blackburn manager Mark Hughes is confident Australian Brett Emerton will recover from a groin injury.
David Dunn has also fully fit after his calf injury but Hughes has a doubt over Steven Reid, who has missed training twice this week with a groin problem.
Defender Ryan Nelsen is still out with a calf injury as Hughes' men go in search of the three points required to maintain their realistic UEFA Cup hopes.

Swindon manager Maurice Malpas will hand late fitness tests to two of his players for the visit of high-flying Carlisle.
Chris Allen picked up a knee problem in the midweek defeat against Leyton Orient while a dead leg has sidelined Michael Pook in recent weeks and the pair will be assessed prior to the game to determine their availability.
Suspended duo Billy Paynter and Lee Peacock will serve the second games of respective two and three-game bans.
Christian Roberts is certain to miss out with a knee injury, as does Pat Kanyuka, who is likely to be sidelined for several weeks with a thigh complaint.
Barry Corr (shoulder) remains another of Malpas' injury worries and the game will come too soon for the forward.
Jamie Vincent was an unused substitute against Martin Ling's side following his return from a groin problem and will hope for a recall.
Carlisle boss John Ward will be without Jeff Smith while Scott Dobie is again battling to return to full fitness.
Smith sustained a potentially season-ending ankle injury in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Luton and is now set to undergo a scan to determine the severity of the problem, with Luke Joyce in line to replace him in Ward's matchday squad.
Smith now joins Joe Garner (knee) and Paul Thirlwell (ankle) on the sidelines at Brunton Park.
Striker Dobie, meanwhile, is back in training after overcoming a virus which forced him to miss the last two games, but it remains to be seen whether he has done enough to earn a recall.
Fellow forward Kevin Gall has been recalled from his loan spell at Darlington and could earn an instant recall to Ward's squad.
The Blues head to the County Ground bidding to secure a seventh straight victory in League One.

- Tranmere: letzte vier Spiele ohne Sieg (0 2 2): zuletzt 1-1 bei Swansea (1.); davor 1-3 bei Oldham (8.) & 0-1 gg. Doncaster (2.) & 1-1 bei BristolR (16.); davor sieben Spiele nicht verloren (5 2 0 | H: 3 1 0)

- Hartlepool: nur ein Sieg aus den fünf Spielen von Anfang Februar bis Anfang März (1 1 3); anschliessend aber drei Siege in Folge: zunächst 1-0 bei Oldham (8.) & dann 4-0 gg. Gillingham (21.) & zuletzt 2-1 gg. Huddersfield (15.)

Defender Ben Clark may return to the Hartlepool squad for the Prenton Park clash against Tranmere.
Clark has been sidelined in January with a thigh problem and is on the verge of returning, but it remains to be seen whether boss Danny Wilson will tinker with a defence which has conceded just once in the last three games.
Wilson has no new injury or suspension problems to contend with as Pools go in search of a fourth straight victory.
Richie Barker (knee) and James Brown (knee) remain sidelined while Graeme Lee's loan spell from Doncaster expired this week and the defender has returned to the Keepmoat Stadium.
Pools travel to Tranmere bidding to secure a double following the 3-1 success over Rovers in December.
Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore is boosted by the return of midfielder Steven Jennings, who returns to action following a three-match ban.
Moore will be without defender Ian Goodison once again, but has been boosted by the news that he will be back in action sooner than expected.
The centre-back was set to be on the sidelines for around six to eight weeks after suffering the injury against Oldham last weekend, but scans have shown he could be back in a fortnight.
Winger Chris Shuker made his long-awaited return from a knee injury for the reserves in midweek and is still lacking match fitness but may be on the bench.
Striker Craig Curran is a doubt with flu, while winger Steve Davies is still a long-term absentee with his knee injury.

Everton midfielder Lee Carsley returns from suspension for the Premier League match at Fulham on Sunday.
Carsley missed the clash at Sunderland on Sunday but played at Goodison on Wednesday night as the Toffees went out of the UEFA Cup to Fiorentina on penalties.
A hip problem kept fellow midfielder Tim Cahill out of that game and he is expected to be missing again at Craven Cottage.
Struggling Fulham have Alexei Smertin available again.
Smertin missed last weekend's draw at Blackburn and it was initially thought he might be out for two weeks but he has recovered from his back strain.
Philippe Christanval and Jari Litmanen are still out with muscle problems, however.
Kasey Keller looks certain to be preferred to Antti Niemi in goal again after starting the Blackburn clash.

Medy Elito and Anthony Wordsworth will push to be involved once more when injury-hit strugglers Colchester host in-form Hull on Tuesday.
Elito, 17, made his full debut during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Cardiff and 19-year-old Wordsworth replaced his fellow winger late on for his first league appearance.
Centre-half Matt Heath also performed well on his Us debut after joining on loan from Leeds last week.
Rock-bottom Colchester's treatment room remains crowded with influential defender Chris Coyne facing another week out with his hamstring strain.
Teddy Sheringham (foot), Kevin Watson (calf), Pat Baldwin (knee), Jamie Guy (heel), Mark Cousins (appendicitis), Aidan Davison and Mark Yeates (both shoulder) are all still missing.
Winger Kevin McLeod is back in training following an illness and could be on the bench.
Hull welcome back striker Caleb Folan and midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha for the clash.
The pair are available following three-match bans after being sent off in the 2-0 victory over Burnley, but may have to settle for places on the bench after the Tigers hammered Southampton 5-0 on Saturday.
Forward Craig Fagan is out after picking up a knock in training on Friday, which made him late omission from Saturday's starting XI, paving way for veteran Dean Windass' return from a knee injury, which lasted an hour.
Defender Wayne Brown was also absent for the Saints thumping after picking up a calf injury against Cardiff and remains sidelined along with midfielder Nick Barmby (groin).
The Tigers will be looking to record a first away win in three to strengthen their place in the play-offs and will be wary that the lowly Us held them 1-1 at the KC Stadium last month.

Cheltenham (19.) & 0-0 gg. Tranmere (7.)

Matt Richards has been ruled out of play-off chasing Brighton's trip to Huddersfield.
The on-loan left-back had to leave the field during the first half of Saturday's 1-0 win over Doncaster after suffering a hamstring injury and will undergo a scan to discover the extent of the problem.
Long-serving defender Kerry Mayo replaced Richards at the weekend and is set to start against Town.
Albion should otherwise be unchanged as they go in search of a victory which would lift them up to sixth.
Midfielder Paul Reid and defender Adam Hinshelwood (both knee) remain their only other injury absentees.
Right-back Andrew Whing collected his 10th yellow card of the season against Rovers and begins a two-match ban when Brighton host Swindon on Saturday.
Huddersfield teenager Danny Broadbent could be handed his first start.
The 18-year-old striker, who has made only two substitute appearances for Huddersfield, could make his full debut alongside Luke Beckett as Phil Jevons sits out with his calf injury.
Terriers manager Andy Ritchie employed a 4-3-3 formation in Saturday's defeat to Southend, with Malvin Kamara and Chris Brandon up front on either side of Andy Booth.
Booth is expected to be rested after playing four games in 10 days, with Beckett and Broadbent replacing him should Ritchie return to a 4-4-2 formation.
Another teenage striker, Lucas Akins, could be named among the substitutes, while central defender Robert Page, who received a bang on the head against Southend, is unlikely to miss out.

Bobby Hassell should return to the Barnsley line-up for the South Yorkshire derby with Sheffield United at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon.
The midfielder missed last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace with a dead leg, but he has trained this week and is fit to face the Blades.
Luke Steele will once again take his place in goal after his on-off switch from West Brom was finally resolved.
The Tykes' FA Cup hero has completed a loan move back to Oakwell, with a view to signing a permanent deal at the end of the season.
With a full week of training behind them following a hectic fixture schedule, the FA cup semi-finalists have a full-strength squad as they look to pull clear of the drop zone.
James Beattie is hoping to shake off his groin injury in time for the trip.
The Blades striker missed last week's home win over Norwich due to a groin strain, but returned to full training this week and could return to contention.
If Beattie fails to make it, Rob Hulse could continue up front alongside Billy Sharp, while Jon Stead and Luton Shelton provide manager Kevin Blackwell with further options.
Stephen Quinn is also back in the frame following his three-game ban, but fellow midfielders Chris Armstrong, who has undergone surgery to repair a groin tear, and Lee Martin (knee ligaments) are definitely out.
John Halls, on loan from Reading, is pushing for his first appearance, while on-loan Wigan winger David Cotterill is expected to retain his place in the starting line-up.

Wrexham have been boosted by the return of experienced trio Danny Sonner, Neil Roberts and Jeff Whitley for the visit to Brentford on Saturday.
Wes Baynes and Marc Williams are also back for League Two's bottom club but Neil Taylor and Carl Tremarco are out.
Brentford midfielder Kevin O'Connor could start after a substitute appearance in the defeat at Morecambe.
O'Connor had missed nine matches with a hamstring injury, and he could come in for John Mousinho or Gary Smith.

Luke Varney and Madjid Bougherra could return to the Charlton squad for the visit of Wolves.
Striker Varney was forced to miss the Good Friday draw against West Brom after suffering a foot injury in training, and centre-half Bougherra has been out since February with a foot problem.
Andy Gray is a doubt, however, after suffering a broken nose against the Baggies, so Varney or Chris Iwelumo will start alongside Leroy Lita - who has extended his loan deal from Reading until the end of the season.
Lee Cook is pushing for a start after building up his match fitness with another substitute appearance but fellow winger Scott Sinclair, on loan from Chelsea, left the club this week to join Crystal Palace.
Zheng Zhi may start on the bench after playing for China in midweek.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy should be able to call on goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey for the trip.
Hennessey was forced to pull out of the Wales squad for Wednesday's friendly against Luxembourg after suffering a hamstring strain against QPR last weekend, but he should be fit to face the Addicks.
Rob Edwards lasted just six minutes of that game after suffering an ankle strain and the defender is expected to be missing for the next two weeks. His replacement that day, Jody Craddock, is the most likely candidate to fill in.
Dave Edwards is still sidelined with a groin problem while international team-mate Freddy Eastwood will hope his brace for Wales in their midweek win will sufficiently impress McCarthy for him to earn a recall.
Long-term casualties Stephen Ward, Matt Murray (both knee) and Michael Kightly (ankle) remain on the sidelines.
Gary Breen (flu) and Stephen Elliott (ankle) have been sidelined in recent weeks and the pair could miss out again if they fail to prove their fitness.

Defender Paul Reid is in line to make his second debut for Carlisle when they travel to Gillingham.
Reid, who started his career at Brunton Park, re-joined the Cumbrians on loan from Barnsley on Thursday and could feature against the struggling Gills.
Carlisle are arguably League One's form team at the moment and go into the game at Priestfield unbeaten in their last 11 games.
Attacking duo Scott Dobie and Danny Carlton are pushing for starts but manager John Ward is still without midfielder Jeff Smith (ankle), striker Joe Garner (knee) and captain Paul Thirlwell (ankle).
Smith is expected to be missing for another month while Ward expects to have Thirlwell back at his disposal for the final few games of the season.
Victory over the Gills could see Ward's men close the gap on leaders Swansea to just two points.
Gillingham boss Mark Stimson is expected to have defensive duo Danny Cullip and Nicky Southall available.
Centre-back Cullip has missed four of the last five games with a hamstring injury while right-back Southall has been absent for over a month with a similar problem.
But the duo are fit again and pushing for an instant recall to Stimson's side as the Gills go in search of a second successive home win following a 2-1 success over Bournemouth last weekend.
Midfielder Andrew Crofts has also overcome the bout of flu which forced him to miss Monday's defeat at Port Vale and Wales' win in Luxembourg and is in contention, but goalkeeper Simon Royce (ankle) looks set to miss out again.
Kevin Maher serves the final game of his three-match ban while new loan signing Donovan Simmonds is unable to make his debut as he is suspended.

- Walsall: ohne Sieg aus den letzten fünf Spielen (0 2 3 | A: 0 1 1); zuletzt 1-1 gg. Crewe (20.); davor 0-2 bei Leeds & 1-1 bei Forest (4.) & 1-2 gg. Brighton (6.) & 0-2 gg. Northampton (12.)

Aaron Brown could make his Walsall debut against Southend after joining on transfer deadline day from Reading.
Brown left non-League Tamworth for the Madejski Stadium in November 2005 but has yet to make an impact on the first team.
Defender Richard Taundry is available after suspension for the trip but midfielder Ishmel Demontagnac is a doubt. Taundry has completed a three-match ban following his red card in the 2-1 home defeat to Brighton earlier this month.
Demontagnac suffered a knee injury playing for the reserves in midweek and this game could come too soon for the youngster.
Emerging central defender Manny Smith produced another solid display as the Saddlers' second-string chalked up a convincing 3-0 victory over Stoke to further stake his claims for a starting place.
Mark Bradley returned unscathed from international duty with the Wales Under-21 squad, while fellow midfielder Alassane N'Dour is back to full fitness following a recent thigh problem.
Southend boss Steve Tilson has no new injury or suspension problems to contend with.
The Shrimpers have forged an eight-game unbeaten streak to wedge themselves in the play-off pack and face a Saddlers side winless in their last five outings.
Striker Alex Revell returned to action for the reserves after recovering from a hernia injury but is not expected to be deemed fit enough to resume first-team duties just yet.
Midfield duo Nick Bailey and Charlie Mulgrew suffered no ill-effects over the Easter period after returning from hamstring injuries and should continue in the side while Hal Robson-Kanu is again hoping to get the nod in attack.
Defender Che Wilson will not feature again this season after suffering an Achilles injury.

- Chester: ein Sieg aus den letzten sieben Spielen (1 0 6 | H: s.o.); zuletzt 0-1 bei Peterbro (2.); davor besagter Sieg mit 2-1 gg. Darlo (4.) & 1-3 bei Barnet (16.) & 0-1 gg. Bradford (13.) & 0-2 gg. Wrexham (24.) & 0-1 bei Darlo (4.) & 0-1 bei den MKDons (1.)

- Stockport: ohne Niederlage aus den letzten sieben Spielen (6 1 0 | A: 3 1 0); zuletzt 0-0 bei Wycombe (6.); davor 2-0 gg. Macclesfield (21.) & 1-0 bei Lincoln (14.) & 2-0 gg. Rochdale (8.) & 2-1 gg. Bradford (13.) & 1-0 bei Hereford (3.) & 2-0 bei Accrington (17.)

Stockport have re-signed Wolves midfielder Stephen Gleeson on loan until the end of the season ahead of the trip to Chester.
The 19-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who previously made 14 starts while on loan with County last season, joins following a month-long loan stay with promotion rivals Hereford, where he made four appearances.
Stockport have also signed Crewe midfielder Ryan Lowe for the remainder of the campaign and he could feature against his former club.
However, skipper Ashley Williams has joined Swansea on loan with a view to a permanent move.
County are again likely to be without Matty McNeil and Jim McNulty.
McNeil is still recovering from an operation on his lateral ligament, while defender McNulty is closing in on a return following a persistent ankle problem.
Experienced midfielder Tony Dinning will miss out for Chester.
Dinning - who joined from County last October and enjoyed two spells at Edgeley Park - was sent off in the latter stages of Monday's 1-0 defeat at Peterborough for two bookable offences and must now serve a one-match ban.
Fit-again striker Richie Partridge will be hoping to add to his brace against Stockport earlier in the season, while Chris Holroyd (hamstring) and skipper Paul Butler (foot) remain injury doubts.
The duo missed the game against Posh and could again be absent as the Blues bid to secure back-to-back home wins after the 2-1 success over Darlington last Saturday.
Tony Grant stepped up his rehabilitation from a calf injury with an appearance for the reserves in midweek and could come into contention, but Nathan Lowndes (back) is still ruled out.


Shrewsbury (18.; 11 11 17 | 49 - 55) v Bury (15.; 12 10 18 | 51 - 56) | 2.15 3.20 3.20 | AHC0 @2.20

06/07: 1-3 (2-1)
05/06: 0-1 (0-2)

- Shrews: letzter Sieg am 19.01. mit 2-0 gg. Morecambe (11.); somit zwölf Spiele nicht gewonnen (0 7 5 | H: 0 4 2); zuletzt 0-0 gg. Notts (22.); davor 1-1 bei DagnRed (20.) & 1-2 bei Macclesfield (21.) & 0-0 gg. Darlo (4.) & 1-1 gg. Rotherham* & 1-4 bei Barnet (16.)

- Bury: eine Niederlage aus den letzten sechs Spielen (4 1 1 | A: s.o.); zuletzt 2-0 gg. Mansfield (23.); davor 0-0 bei Hereford (3.) & besagte Niederlage mit 1-2 bei Wrexham (24.) & 3-0 gg. Rotherham* & 2-1 gg. Morecambe (11.) & 4-1 bei Brentford (10.)

* Rotherham wurden 10P. abgezogen, sonst 7. mit 62P.

Bury boss Alan Knill will be reluctant to make changes for his side's trip to Shrewsbury.
The in-form Shakers have taken four points from their last two games to move closer to safety.
Striker Glynn Hurst was relegated to the bench and replaced by Adam Rooney for the 2-0 win over Mansfield at Gigg Lane on Easter Monday.
Rooney looks set to keep his place after he scored the second goal against the Stags with a smart finish.
Defender Dave Challinor could again be sidelined as he battles to recover from a knee injury, but Knill has no other concerns.
Bury have kept three clean sheets in their last four games and look to be all but safe from relegation after moving up to 15th in League Two.
Shrewsbury manager Paul Simpson could hand a debut to new loan signing Michael Barnes.
Midfielder Barnes has joined on loan until the end of the campaign from Manchester United and could go straight into the side.
The Shrews' other new arrival, Martin Riley, has joined on non-contract terms and Simpson must decide whether to include the former Wolves defender in his squad.
Town have received a boost following David Hunt's return to training following a shoulder problem, however the game may come too soon for him.
Andy Cooke will hope for a return to the starting line-up after being replaced by Dave Hibbert in Monday's goalless draw with Notts County.
Guy Madjo was on target for the reserves twice in midweek and the striker could return to Simpson's squad as he bids for a maiden victory as Shrews boss.

Tottenham centre-back Jonathan Woodgate could still make the Barclays Premier League clash against Newcastle on Sunday despite a tight hamstring.
Skipper Ledley King could be rested as he continues his gradual return from knee surgery.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) and Gareth Bale (foot) are expected to miss the rest of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan will be without Brazilian defender Claudio Cacapa.
Cacapa is likely to be out for several weeks with a groin problem, and joins Shay Given (also groin) on the long-term casualty list.
James Milner (foot), Emre (calf) and Stephen Carr (hamstring) are on the road to recovery, but still some way short of match fitness, while Shola Ameobi has joined Stoke on loan.
