Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore still has concerns over a host of players, including Nicky Law, who continues to struggle with a groin problem.
Gavin Gunning (thigh), Jamie Green (ankle) and Stephen Brogan (calf) are all unlikely to feature yet again. Craig McAlliser should continue in attack and Marcus Marshall will play wide right.
Stanley boss John Coleman is without goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin, who sits out through suspension, midfielder Bobby Grant is absent with a hamstring problem and Luke Richardson is also missing.
