Wigan Athletic v Ipswich
DW Stadium | 3pm Kick-off Sunday | Skybet Championship
Ipswich winger Paul Anderson, meanwhile, will be assessed ahead of the game. Anderson missed the midweek victory over Yeovil with a groin injury and will be checked over ahead of the clash at the DW Stadium, which has been put back 24 hours due to the Latics' involvement in the Europa League.
Daryl Murphy was recalled in place of Frank Nouble for the 2-1 success over the Glovers - one of two changes with Town boss Mick McCarthy having previously kept faith with an unchanged side for back-to-back games - and he is expected to keep his place having found the net.
Tyrone Mings continues his recovery from a knee injury and misses out.
Colchester v Crawley
Weston Homes Stadium | 3pm Kick-off | Skybet League 1
Colchester forward Gavin Massey will play no part this weekend having been ruled out for around a month.
Massey made his return from a hamstring injury as a second-half substitute in last Saturday's 2-2 draw at Bradford but only aggravated the problem and now faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
Sanchez Watt remains out with his thigh problem while fellow forward Freddie Sears, who has struggled of late with a groin complaint, is again likely to start on the bench.
Influential defender Magnus Okuonghae completes his suspension and Daniel Pappoe starts a three-match ban of his own.
Southend v Bury
Gigg Lane | 3pm Kick-off | Skybet League 2
After four defeats in a row, Southend travel to Bury, hoping to turn things around against Kevin Blackwell’s side. They, themselves, have lost their last three games in all competitions, but have won their last three home games.
The Blues’ assistant manager Dave Penney said: “They have signed a lot of players over the summer so are probably trying to find their best formation and starting line-up.
“We’ve been quite settled but we’ve both lost a few games and want to bounce back this weekend. It will be a tough game, Kevin Blackwell has got them playing some good football, but we’re desperate to end this run.”
Southend hope skipper John White will be back for the trip to Bury after missing last Friday's disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Scunthorpe with a slight thigh strain but has returned to training this week.
Should White make it against the Shakers, then boss Phil Brown must decide whether to revert Adam Thompson back to centre-half or stick with Mark Phillips and Luke Prosser at the heart of defence.
Midfielder Marc Laird and defender Julian Bennett both remain sidelined with long-term knee problems as the Shrimpers aim to get back to winning ways.
AFC Sudbury v Erith & Belvedere
MEL Group Stadium | 3pm Kick-off | Ryman Division One North
AFC Sudbury are looking to continue their excellent form, when they host newly-promoted side Erith and Belvedere at the MEL Group Stadium this afternoon. The Yellows are currently sitting in ninth place in the Ryman North table with thirteen points from eight games, while their newly promoted opponents are in seventeenth place with ten points from nine games. AFC are unbeaten in their last five games winning four and drawing one.
On the injury front Jemel Fox is still suffering from sciatica, while the unlucky Josh Turner is back in hospital with another infection picked up after his recent operation.
Goalkeeper Dan Heath out of action due to his fractured metatarsal picked up in his first game on loan for Diss Town and he is unlikely to be back playing for some considerable time.
Tom Cutts who was on loan at the same club has now moved to the Milton Keynes area and is likely to be playing for a team in that area soon.
AFC Reserves/Under 21′s do not have a game this weekend.
