Should the scores be level after 90 minutes on Tuesday evening there will be a period of extra-time followed by a penalty shoout-out if need be.
Right back Frazer Richardson is a long term absentee as he continues to recover from a dislocated shoulder whilst Oscar Gobern is still ruled out after a hip operation in the summer.
Rickie Lambert is also absent with a groin strain.

The Cherries should have Harry Arter available to them. The midfielder made his debut in the 1-0 defeat at Charlton on Saturday and was replaced at the interval with a sore knee.
Arter's replacement, Michael Symes, is still not at 100% despite getting a solid half under his belt. The striker has been struggling with a groin injury over the summer and he may have to settle for a start on the bench again.
Brett Pitman is likely to lead the line as manager Eddie Howe looks to name an unchanged side for the cup tie.
