Sitting 19th in the EFL League Two table with only 15 points accumulated so far, the home side is under clear relegation pressure ahead of this fixture.
Port Vale defender Connor Hall sustained an injury in the team's FA Cup win over Scunthorpe, and his availability for this fixture remains in doubt. Lewis Montsma is expected to fill in as the starting central defender to face Accrington Stanley in Hall's absence.
Up front, manager Jon Brady is likely to bring forward Max Waters back into the starting line-up for this match.
