O'Connor returns

O'Connor has been sidelined for a month with a knee problem but is closing in on a return, and Spencer will be handed a late fitness test on the ankle injury which kept him out of Monday's win at Bournemouth.

But the Bees will be without centre-half Darren Powell, who begins a three-match ban following his red card at Dean Court, so Mark Phillips will step in at the back.

Defender Brett Johnson misses out after injuring his shoulder in a fall at home while strikers Nathan Elder (cheekbone), Charlie MacDonald (shoulder) and Jordan Rhodes (metatarsal) are out for the season.

The Bees will have their promotion to League One confirmed if they beat Stanley and either Exeter lose or Bury fail to win their weekend fixtures.
