Jim Bentley could keep the faith for Morecambe

Jim Bentley could opt for the same XI when Morecambe host Crawley, meaning Aaron Wildig and Andy Fleming may have to settle for spots on the bench once again.

Midfielder Wildig (groin) and Fleming (back) were only among the substitutes as the Shrimps, the division's top scorers, brushed aside AFC Wimbledon 5-2.

Laurence Wilson missed out with a hamstring strain at the weekend and is likely to struggle for the quick turnaround.

Captain Peter Murphy will continue to miss out with a long-term knee injury, although he is back doing light work from the problem he picked up on the opening weekend.

Crawley manager Mark Yates is expected to retain much of the team that defeated Luton 2-1 on Saturday.

The win was Crawley's second in succession after a previous 3-2 triumph over Leyton Orient, and Yates said: "We go into the game off the back of two wins, so we've got a great spirit, plenty of momentum."

The manager is, however, without several first-team players.

Gavin Tomlin is unavailable because of a groin injury, while owing to knee injuries, Lanre Oyebanjo and Joe McNerney are also out.
