Darlington boss Dave Penney is likely to name an unchanged side when managerless Chester visit the Darlington Arena for their 19.30pm kick-off.Penney handed starts to new signings Ben Parker and Jason Kennedy in the 3-1 win over Brentford on Saturday, and the pair - on loan from Leeds and Middlesbrough respectively - are likely to keep their places.

But they will continue to be without defender Alan White who serves the third of a four-game ban after his red card against Mansfield.

Fellow defender Neil Austin, midfielder Ricky Ravenhill and striker Tommy Wright could all return to the side following their suspensions at the weekend, but may have to settle for places on the bench.

Defender Tim Ryan and midfielder Clark Keltie still remain sidelined with knee injuries, while Rob Purdie has a leg injury.
