Newport are boosted by a pair of new strikers ahead of the Sky Bet League Two clash with Barnet.

Reece Grego-Cox has joined the Exiles from QPR on a loan deal until January and Rhys Healey has arrived from Cardiff, going straight into the squad at Rodney Parade.

That duo are joined by a third loanee after defender Kyle Cameron arrived in south Wales from Newcastle.

Newport are yet to taste victory at home this season, losing to Mansfield on the opening day and then drawing with relegated Crewe.

Fit-again Jamie Stephens should keep his place in Martin Allen's Barnet side after making his first appearance of the season against Carlisle last weekend.

The 23-year-old was rested for the Checktrade Trophy fixture against MK Dons but could replace Mauro Vilhete in goal.

Bondz N'Gala will look to retain his place in the starting XI in place of Bira Dembele, who remains sidelined with a bruised rib suffered in training last week.
