Two teams in contrasting form meet
Chester City have no fresh problems for the game against in-form Rochdale, who are without Nathan Stanton.
Bobby Williamson's side have slipped out of the play-off picture in recent weeks after a run of seven games without a win.
But the Chester boss is likely to call on John Murphy after the striker made his comeback from a foot injury in the defeat to Rotherham on Saturday.
Murphy's return means Williamson's only absentees are Tony Dinning and Nathan Lowndes.
Rochdale news
Just one defeat in 11 games has shot Dale up the table, although they will be without Stanton for the game.
Stanton was sent off in Saturday's win at leaders MK Dons and serves a one-game suspension.
Defender Lee Crooks has missed the last five games due to illness, but is an option to fill in for Stanton.
Chris Dagnall is gradually returning to fitness following surgery on damaged cruciate knee ligaments, but fellow striker Adam Le Fondre is doubtful after sustaining an injury in the win at MK Dons.
