The Seasiders duo replace Adam Gell and Nathan McGinley - who both drop to the bench - as Gary Liddle's side aim to complete a league double against the high-flying Pitmen.

Aaron Haswell, Connor Smith and Frankie Whelan all retain their spots in defence as the Seasiders head to Keys Park for the first time since 2018 when they played out a 0-0 draw.

Lewis Hawkins captains the side this afternoon. Harley Dawson also retains his place in midfield, with Donald Chimalilo set to play in a more advanced role.

Jake Charles, who netted in Whitby's 3-1 defeat at Hebburn Town last time out, will look to provide attacking support for Ben Farrar in attack.

Whitby Town: Isaac Allan, Connor Smith, Aaron Haswell, Alex Nelson, Frankie Whelan, Harley Dawson, Donald Chimalilo, Lewis Hawkins (c), Ben Farrar, Layton Watts, Jake Charles.

Substitutes: Callum Wilson, Nathan McGinley, Adam Gell, Jarrett Rivers, Matthew Tymon.
