Stevenage entertain Port Vale in their FA Cup first round replay with a home tie against Huddersfield the prize for the victors.

Borough boss Graham Westley could make changes to his starting XI after admitting he made errors in his selection against Gateshead.

Westley's men secured a 5-3 success over the North East outfit on Saturday, leading some to believe he could name an unchanged line-up, but the boss has other ideas.

Ronnie Henry could miss out with a knock meaning Eddie Anaclet is likely to make a rare start.

Andy Drury and Mitchell Cole could make way for Chris Beardsley and Joel Byrom but the likes of Peter Vincenti and Stacy Long will start on the bench.

Vale news

Vale boss Micky Adams is faced with a defensive crisis with Luke Prosser and Tommy Fraser suspended for the clash.

Gareth Owen is also sidelined with a fractured cheekbone, meaning Adams could revert back to a flat back four.

Adams will also be without Jamie Guy after his loan spell from Colchester United was cut short.

Stevenage Evens, Draw 12/5, Port Vale 11/4
