The Seasiders face the Tigers at Towbar Express Stadium, looking to bounce back after falling to a 2-1 defeat at Gainsborough Trinity on Tuesday night.

Shane Bland is named in-between the sticks behind a four-man defence with the returning Kasper Williams, who dropped to the bench against Gainsborough, and Frankie Whelan situated in central defence while Connor Smith and Sam Collins occupy the respective flanks.

Adam Gell, who also sat out of the midweek encounter, is situated in the middle of the park alongside the experienced Lewis Hawkins, plus Alfie Doherty, who made his return to the starting XI in Lincolnshire on Tuesday.

Layton Watts and Aaron Haswell will aim to provide attacking support for Matthew Tymon who has two goals in his last two matches.

Liddle has a number of options to deploy from the bench if required, including a combination of useful experience and energetic youth.

Nathan McGinley misses out with a hamstring problem, while Michael Woods is unavailable with an ankle injury.

Whitby Town: Shane Bland, Connor Smith, Sam Collins, Frankie Whelan, Kasper Williams, Adam Gell, Alfie Doherty, Lewis Hawkins (C), Matthew Tymon, Layton Watts, Aaron Haswell.

Substitues: Callum Wilson, Alfie Jackson, Jassem Sukar, Mitchell Curry, Nicholas Cranston.
