Rushden manager Justin Edinburgh has no new injury concerns as he prepares his side to face Hinckley in the FA Cup first round.
Diamonds are in fine form on the back of three successive league wins including an eye-catching victory away to Luton last weekend.
Edinburgh will have loan signing Jack Ainsley available for the game, following his move to Rushden on Friday.
The Ipswich central defender has joined on loan until January and is eligible to play in the FA Cup.
Strikers Cliff Akurang and Aaron O'Connor will again compete for a starting berth alongside the highly-rated Lee Tomlin.
Michael Corcoran is likely to retain his place at the heart of the defence at the expense of Simon Downer, while midfielder Rob Wolleaston is still recovering from the ankle injury which has kept him out for much of the season.
Midfielder Matt Pattison is also pushing for a start after being relegated to the bench in recent matches.
Defender Lee Collins is a doubt for Hinckley, having missed the last two games with a groin injury.
Paul Lister has been deputising, but the centre-back should be fit to return to the side.
Right-back James Mace will definitely return after completing a three-match suspension.
And manager Dean Thomas believes his team has the individual quality to trouble Rushden.
"We will need to defend well, remain organised and focused," he said. "Going forward we will cause them problems.
"But we are playing against good players and they will punish us if we let them. We need to concentrate.
"We have players who have played at conference level and players who have been young pros. So it will be a test for them to see where they stand. We will need to be at our very best and the players need to perform."
