They have won more league games away than at home this term, losing only once in eight matches on the road.

They lost 2-0 at Blackpool last time out in the FA Cup but have lost just once in their last seven league outings.

Town’s 0-0 draw at Dagenham and Redbridge last Saturday was only the second time this season they have failed to score in a game.

There will be a two minute silence before the match to mark Remembrance Day and the death of a well-known supporter.
