Macclesfield will be keen to bounce back from defeat in the Lancashire derby with Stockport when they host Barnet at Moss Rose on Monday.Michael Symes and Gareth Evans are vying for a return in attack alongside top scorer Francis Green after Martin Gritton was withdrawn for Evans at half-time against County.

Gritton has been struggling recently with hamstring problems.

Silkmen manager Keith Alexander could again start without back-up for Jonny Brain on the bench as out-of-favour second-choice goalkeeper Tommy Lee joined Rochdale on loan last week.

Neil Ashton could also be drafted into defence after featuring on the bench last time out.

Alexander will be wary of securing Macclesfield's League Two status after their brief winning run came to an end at the weekend.
