Steve Wilkes has revealed he will be fielding a completely untried and untested defence as Padiham host Blackpool Mechanics at the Arbories.
Regular centre-halves Matt Woods and Ross Barnham are both suspended, while goalkeeper Gavin King is away.
King is replaced by Chris Brown in goal.
Damian Ingham and Steve Pickup are also struggling with injuries.
Wilkes said: "My back five have never played with each other.
"I've got three players playing out of position and a goalkeeper who has only ever played one game for us."
