Boss Neil Warnock has reported no new injury worries and is expected to stick with the side which beat Cardiff 2-1 in the top-of-the-table clash a fortnight ago.
Heidar Helguson is fully fit after a neck injury but will have to settle for a place on the bench again with Rob Hulse currently preferred in attack.
Tommy Smith will start alongside Hulse against the club where he began his career and scored 36 goals in 167 appearances.
Defender Peter Ramage and midfielder Akos Buzsaky are still sidelined with knee injuries along with another ex-Hornet, winger Lee Cook.
