Stuart Brock keeps his place in goal against Darlington after a series of midweek errors cost them the game against Luton.

However, Harriers are missing the injured Abdou Sall (groin), Colin Larkin, Ritchie Appleby (both hamstring), Mark Blake (achilles) and the suspended Scott Stamps.

It gives a chance for squad players Ian Joy, Sam Shilton, Ian Foster and Andy Ducros with target man Drewe Broughton relegated to the bench.

Harriers are aiming to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat against Luton but that was their first loss in four games.

Adie Smith returns as substitute after recovering from a groin operation.

Darlington have only played one game in a month due to postponements and they are also hit by player unavailability.

The visitors do have midfielder Mark Ford, Phil Brumwell and full-back Simon Betts back from suspension though.

They are looking to record their third win over Harriers this season after a 2-0 home league win and 1-0 success at Aggborough in the FA Cup.

Big front man Barry Conlon is suspended, while key defender Craig Liddle is also still out with a leg injury.

Harriers: Brock; Clarkson, Ayres, Hinton, Joy; Bennett, Williams, Shilton; Ducros, Henriksen, Foster. Subs: Murphy (GK), Smith, Broughton, Davies, Faulds.

Darlington: Collett; Betts, McGurk, Brightwell, Heckingbottom; Brumwell, Ford, Maddison, Clark; Mellanby, Hodgson. Subs: Atkinson, Campbell, Finch (GK), Wainwright, Sheeran.
