Expected Team News
Anyone's guess. With only one fit centre half and it being a cup game we might see a changed around side.
Neil Harris: "I love the competition, but it’s not the same as it was in previous years. I’ve got a great affiliation with the competition, but it’s not the same without the fans. You take the fans out, you take away a chunk out of the FA Cup.
"I’ll be picking a team accordingly to win the game. It’s important for players to put in a good performance. Results tend to follow off that.
"We’re ready to go and we’re chomping to play. We want to get back to winning ways as soon as possible."
