Harrogate will be glad to welcome Jack Diamond back after the wide man served a one-match ban following a red card at Port Vale. Left-back Lewis Page and midfield dynamo Alex Pattison missed out at Crawley through injury and will be assessed for availability late in the week. Intelligent right-back Ryan Fallowfield, meanwhile, could come into the XI with Lewis Page a doubt, in which case versatile stalwart Warren Burrell would switch to left-back. Terence Vancooten is suspended after his red card at Sutton while Scott Cuthbert was forced off in the first half against Forest Green, so ball-player Ross Marshall will partner battler Luke Prosser in central defence. After a heavy defeat, Alex Revell may see merit in injecting some youthful exuberance into the side, so Mackye Townsend-West could come in at left-back for Ben Coker while midfielder Jack Smith may replace James Daly.
Harrogate Town may feel Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Crawley was a missed opportunity, given that they led early on in that match and, with the scores level, had 25 minutes to find a goal with a man advantage. On the plus side, though, striker Luke Armstrong continued his stellar campaign to date with a sixth goal of the campaign. Stevenage, meanwhile, are hoping to end a six-game winless run that has left Alex Revell's troops languishing in 21st, following a 4-0 loss to Forest Green last time out. The Boro worked so hard last season to get out of the rut that had set in during the 2019/20 campaign, and a few more defeats would almost feed the notion that they are back to square one. 2:0
