    Martin out for Stanley, while Alsop out to equal Robins record

    Accrington Stanley will be looking to leapfrog Cheltenham in the table when the two teams meet at the Fraser Eagle Stadium on Saturday. Stanley find themselves one place and one point behind the Robins in League Two and will be keen to return to winning ways, having gone two games without a victory. Cheltenham themselves are not in the best of form, with no win in their last four, but do possess a motivated Julian Alsop in their ranks. The veteran 36-year-old striker is just one goal away from equalling Martin Devaney's Football League club record of 38 goals and the former Swansea frontman will be keen to end a three-game run without a goal.

    Stanley news

    On-loan Leeds goalkeeper Alan Martin misses out for Accrington as he is in the Scotland Under 21 squad, so Ian Dunbavin will start once again. Darran Kempson will play after recovering from a groin injury, while Luke Joyce, Gary King and Chris Turner could all start.
    Robins news
    On-loan West Ham defender Holmar Eyjolfsson is away with the Iceland U21 side so Josh Low is most likely to step in at right-back. David Bird has picked up a calf strain in training and could miss out, but new loan signing Ramone Rose from QPR will be included in the squad. Midfielder Marley Watkins has recovered from illness and is in contention to start once more on Saturday.
