Michael Woods comes into the side as the Seasiders seek a return to wining ways after three weeks without a match when facing last season's Pitching In Northern Premier League Premier Division semi-finalists at the MAP Group UK Stadium.

Shane Bland continues in-between the sticks while Sam Collins and Connor Smith feature either side of Alex Nelson and Frankie Whelan at centre-back.

Woods joins Harley Dawson in the middle of the park, with Lewis Hawkins captaining the visitors this afternoon, while Donald Chimalilo and Layton Watts provide attacking support for Jake Charles in attack.

Charles will be aiming to score his second goal of the season against the Anchors after netting respectively against Stockton in the reverse fixture in September at the Towbar Express Stadium. The experienced non-league striker has three goals to his name so far this season.

Liddle has a number of attacking options to deploy if needed, including James Harrison, Aaron Haswell, and Matthew Tymon.

Nathan McGinley and Adam Gell are named as substitutes too.

Whitby Town: Shane Bland, Connor Smith, Sam Collins, Alex Nelson, Frankie Whelan, Harley Dawson, Lewis Hawkins (c), Michael Woods, Jake Charles, Layton Watts, Donald Chimalilo.

Substitutes: Nathan McGinley, Adam Gell, Aaron Haswell, James Harrison, Matthew Tymon.
