Bury will be aiming to get back into the automatic promotion places with victory away at Exeter.
McAllister eyes start for hosts while Sodje returns for Shakers
Bury will be aiming to get back into the automatic promotion places with victory away at Exeter on Saturday.
The Shakers' 1-0 win over the Barnet last weekend was their first in five attempts but the club are still fourth despite their recent blip.
Meanwhile Exeter harbour promotion ambitions of their own and will look to get back on track on Saturday.
The Grecians suffered back-to-back defeats at Notts County and Brentford but the team have not had a league fixture at St James Park since 28th December, following two postponed home games in the first week of January.

Exeter striker Craig McAllister is hoping to start when Bury visit after smashing a hat-trick for the reserves.
McAllister - who is yet to start a league game for the Grecians since his summer move from Oxford - bagged a treble against Salisbury's second string on Tuesday to give manager Paul Tisdale food for thought ahead of the clash.
City are still without injured striker Ben Watson (thigh) and central defender Matt Taylor (bruised foot) as they prepare to face the fourth-placed Shakers.
Shakers team news
Bury manager Alan Knill is likely to name an unchanged starting line-up from the Barnet clash for the weekend's match.
Centre-back Efe Sodje completes his three-match ban following his red card against Shrewsbury last month, while goalkeeper Wayne Brown is still absent because of the thigh injury he suffered in the 2-1 defeat to Wycombe.
Mark Tyler arrived on loan from Peterborough in time to make his debut between the posts against Barnet last weekend and will keep his place.
Striker Andy Bishop will also start again despite turning down a new contract to stay at Gigg Lane last week, with Knill insisting there have been no bids thus far for the 26-year-old.
