The Bulls are likely to be down to barebones without five players ahead of the FA Cup clash. Adam Stansfield, Stacy Coldicott, and Simon Travis are all still out. Loanee Wayne Brown is not eligible, and Darren Blewitt is still struggling with a dead leg, but (Updated) Matt Bailey has been given permission to play by Crewe. Graham Turner will choose between Danny Bertram, Guy Ipoua, Matt Bailey, and Andy Williams up front, but the remainder of the side virtually picks itself thanks to injuries and unavailability with Craig Stanley likely to return to midfield after sitting out the LDV win over Mansfield.
Alfreton have doubts over goalkeeper Greg Smith, with Birmingham City Academy keeper Adam Legzdins, 18, standing by with reserve keeper Shaun Bodkin already ruled out. Chris White remains sidelined with a knee injury, and fellow wide man Chris Bettney is struggling with illness.
Match Odds (bet365): Hereford 4/9, Draw 13/5, Alfreton 11/2.
