Team News
Grimsby
Salford City
- Ian Holloway "cannot put a timescale" on the return to action for versatile full-back Luke Hendrie or target man James Hanson; both will be out of contention here.
- Montel Gibson, recovering from a thigh injury, only managed 13 minutes against Morecambe and 20 at Walsall while fellow new forwards Ira Jackson and Touray Sisay are still building up match fitness too.
- Salford begin their campaign with no first team absentees - fringe players Emmanuel Dieseruvwe, Martin Smith and Joey Jones missed out on the last two match-day squads.
- One questions whether a double-pivot of Darron Gibson and Jason Lowe gives the Ammies enough in terms of ball progression from deep, but that might not matter as much against possession-based opposition.
- Salford named a fairly strong side against Everton in the Carabao Cup in midweek and may have to check on the fitness levels of their players heading into this game.
