Harrold: Debut
Rochdale boss Keith Hill has no new injury or suspension worries for his side's home clash with League Two promotion rivals Wycombe.
Defenders Nathan D'Laryea and Raphale Evans are currently recovering from injuries and look set to remain sidelined.
But Hill is otherwise able to choose from a fully-fit squad as his side seek to record their second home win of the season.
Goalkeeper Sam Russell could come under threat after a poor display against Bury last weekend but Adam Le Fondre and Chris Dagnall will hope to keep their places up front.
Hill is wary of Wycombe, admitting: "They have started the season exceptionally well and have only conceded one goal and have very good players in the team and in the squad.
"They have a winning attitude and mentality."
Wycombe striker Matt Harrold is set to make his debut as Peter Taylor's side take their fine early-season form to Rochdale.
Harrold was a deadline-day signing from League One side Southend and will be on the bench at Spotland as Taylor's side seek a fourth straight win.
Chris Zebroski is set to keep his place alongside Scott McGleish in attack but with the former Millwall man yet to open his account for the Chairboys, his place is under pressure from Harrold and on-loan Reading youngster Simon Church.
Midfielder Gary Holt returned from a knock to play in the 1-0 win at Chesterfield last Saturday and will continue while Lewis Hunt and Matty Phillips are both close to returns from injury and could travel with the squad.
Midfielder Matty Bloomfield has stepped up his return from a long-term cruciate injury and could be back by the end of the year.
Phil Thompson expects both Liverpool and Chelsea to overcome French opposition this week.
Phil Thompson says Champions League survival is beyond Celtic and they must target the Uefa Cup.
