Gillingham starting XI

Gareth Ainsworth has selected his strongest available XI for today's game, with the majority of the side that has featured in the last few games continuing in their established roles.

The one change sees Will Goodwin return to the starting lineup in place of the absent Lamin Sillah. Harry Waldock will continue to partner Ronan Hale in behind Goodwin up front, while James Brophy continues to deputise at left wing back with Conor McManus away on international duty with the Republic of Ireland Under-21s.
