New signing Kyle Bennett comes straight into the Crawley team for their game at Stevenage.

Bennett joined on loan from Doncaster yesterday and is handed an instant debut as Reds bid to bounce back from the 3-0 defeat to Port Vale in midweek.

The former Bury winger replaces Jamie Proctor as boss Richie Barker reverts to a 4-1-4-1 formation. Emile Sinclair also drops to the bench with Gary Alexander coming in for his first start for seven weeks as the lone striker.

The change in tactics will also see Andy Drury move into the centre of midfield with Bennett taking his place on the left wing.

Top scorer Billy Clarke remains sidelined by a persistent knee injury and is not included among the substitutes.

Stevenage (4-4-2): Day; Smith, Ashton, Jones, Hartley; Heslop; Freeman, Tansey, Doughty, Morais; Zoko. Subs: Arnold, Wedgbury, Dunne, Burrow, Parrett, Tounkara, Andrade.

Crawley (4-1-4-1): P Jones; Simpson, McFadzean Walsh, Sadler; Bulman; Adams, Drury, M Jones, Bennett; Alexander. Subs: Maddison, Essam, Connolly, Hurst, Torres, Proctor, Sinclair.
