City will be searching for their first league win since the opening day against the Shakers, but will have to make do without Richardson yet again. He's started just one game this season, and Keith may once again have to use Jamie McCombe as a makeshift target man.
Left sided Blackwood has looked impressive over the last few weeks, but he missed the Bank Holiday defeat and Swansea and is set to miss out again. His absence will mean either loanee Nathan Peat or Kevin Sandwith will get a chance to start.
Up front the race will be between McCombe, experienced striker Adrian Littlejohn or West Ham loanee Gavin Pearson.
