Stockport boss Darije Kalezic will welcome new signings Kieran Charnock and Danny Schofield into his squad for Saturday's clash with Braintree.
Rotherham winger Schofield and Fleetwood defender Charnock moved to Edgeley Park on loan until the end of the season earlier this week and are available to make their debuts against the Iron.
However, Kalezic could opt to leave the pair on the bench and instead stick with the same XI that ended the Hatters' six-game losing streak against Barrow on Tuesday.
Striker Danny Hattersley missed the 2-0 victory in midweek through illness and is expected to be absent once again.
Victory for Kalezic's men would see them leapfrog Braintree as they look to continue their charge up the table.
Braintree boss Alan Devonshire will be without defender Matt Paine.
The 25-year-old will serve the second of a three-match ban after he saw red for violent conduct in the 2-0 victory over Luton on February 26.
Paine would have served his final game against Dartford in midweek but that clash, along with last Saturday's trip to Nuneaton, were both postponed.
Experienced goalkeeper Danny Naisbitt could return to the squad following a long-term ankle injury, providing competition for Nathan McDonald, who has been Devonshire's first-choice stopper in Naisbitt's absence.
Bradley Quinton has suffered a setback in his recovery from the knee injury that has kept him out since November. The midfielder looks set to be out for a further two weeks.
