Henriquez in Under-21 action

"Last year, up there, wasn't a good game if you're a coach, but we showed a tremendous amount of courage and character to come back to win that game and also the league on the night," recalled Joyce. Those in attendance at Altrincham's Moss Lane will be hoping for similar excitement this time around.

United (from): Johnstone, Gollini; Cole, Blackett, Thorpe, Fornasier, Tunnicliffe, Brady, King, Macheda, Petrucci, Lingard, Henriquez, Veseli, James, McGinty.

The match is live on MUTV with kick-off at 19:00 BST.
