New signing Ian Watson comes straight into the Darlington side to make his debut at Heritage Park against Harrogate RA.

The left-back displaces Leon Scott, who reverts to midfield while Jordan Robinson drops to the bench.

There is no Adam Reed or Nathan Fisher on the bench for Darlington.

After a patchy run of form, Darlington are bidding to win build on Saturday’s 2-0 win at Ossett Town, when Amar Purewal scored on his comeback and was also involved in Graeme Armstrong’s strike two minutes later.

Harrogate name only four substitutes and are 18th, while Darlington, now seventh after last night’s results, can go up to second if they win by a three-goal margin this evening.

Darlington: Jameson; Brown, White, Hunter, Watson; A Mitchell, Scott, Portas, Thompson; Purewal, Armstrong. Subs: Bell (gk), Pennal, Cocks, Robinson, Hatch

Harrogate RA: Dean, Thirkell, Morris, Coates, Kidd, Mycoe, Youhill, Ibrahimi, Cartman, Farquarson, Hunter. Subs: Bromley, Ashforth, Simpson, Hickey
