Barnet v Morecambe

Barnet boss Martin Allen could be tempted to hand bigger roles to Shaun Batt and Nicky Bailey in the home game against Morecambe.

Forward Batt has been hindered by a succession of niggling injuries since joining in the summer but has stepped off the bench in the Bees' last two matches and is pushing for a start.

Midfielder Bailey has also struggled for fitness since returning to the club in October and has been restricted to two appearances, but he too is now fully fit, while forward Kevin Lisbie (hamstring) is edging closer to contention.

Defender Dira Dembele (knee) will not be included in the squad but Allen confirmed he could be available next weekend.

Morecambe boss Jim Bentley could be tempted to make changes following his side's poor showing in their midweek FA Cup replay defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge.

Bentley, whose side squandered a two-goal lead, has no major new injury concerns but may recall striker Paul Mullin and defender Lee Molyneux to his starting line-up, while forward Kevin Ellison is also in contention.

Skipper Peter Murphy is scheduled to travel with the squad but is not ready for match action following three months out with a knee injury followed by a blocked artery.

Defender Adam Dugdale (foot) is still out as Morecambe bid to bounce back from two successive league defeats.
