One to watch: Alistair Waddecar has already hit a number of goals from his berth on the right of midfield this season.

Rival view: Boss Neil Reynolds, on speculation about him heading to FC United, said: "The club have received an approach from FC United and I believe that that has been declined. I'm manager of Bamber Bridge until I'm told otherwise. It is business as usual, we are focusing on the away trip to Scarborough."

Team news: Matty Dixon should return, though Boro are waiting to hear back from James Cadman.

Matt Dudley is ruled out for Bridge with a broken shoulder.

Betting: Boro are favourites being priced at 8/15, with a draw being 3-1 and Stalybridge are priced at 4/1.
