In pursuit of a return to winning ways in the Pitching In Northern Premier League following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Prescot Cables, Liddle reshuffles his pack as Isaac Allan, Jake Charles, Donald Chimalilo, Adam Gell and Nathan McGinley come in for Shane Bland, Sam Collins, Ben Farrar, Alex Nelson and Matthew Tymon.

Allan starts in-between the sticks, replacing the injured Bland, while Frankie Whelan retains his places at the heart of Town's backline alongside McGinley, with Aaron Haswell occupying the defensive flanks along with Connor Smith.

Lewis Hawkins, who made his return to the starting line-up at the Auto Safety Centre Stadium at the weekend, captains the visitors and is situated alongside Harley Dawson and Gell in the middle of the park.

Layton Watts netted his first goal of 2026 in the last match, opening the scoring in a the first-half with a free-kick. The Sunderland-based attacker, as well as Chimalilo, will aim to provide attacking support for Chalres, who scored twice in the corresponding fixture at Hebburn Town last season as the Seasiders ran out 6-2 winners.

Nelson, who has been a regular in the starting XI of late, is named on the bench along with Farrar and Tymon. James Harrison and Jarrett Rivers are options for Liddle to deploy from the bench if required too.

Whitby Town: Isaac Allan, Connor Smith, Aaron Haswell, Adam Gell, Frankie Whelan, Nathan McGinley, Lewis Hawkins (c), Harley Dawson, Jake Charles, Layton Watts, Donald Chimalilo.

Substitutes: Alex Nelson, Jarrett Rivers, James Harrison, Ben Farrar, Matthew Tymon.
