Wannell missed last weekend’s dramatic 4-3 win at AFC Fylde through suspension whilst Pearson has been rewarded for his impact coming off the bench in the last two matches. They replace Finn Cousin-Dawson and Josh Sims, who are both named amongst the substitutes.

They are joined on the bench by Wannell’s central defensive partner Morgan Williams who has been missing since suffering a concussion in the 1-0 defeat at home to Rochdale on August Bank Holiday Monday. New signing Dom Bernard, whose late goal proved the winner in Lancashire on Saturday, stays in the starting line-up.

Solihull are unchanged from their 1-0 home defeat to Forest Green Rovers at the weekend with former Glover Matt ‘Roller’ Warburton facing his old side.
