Quakers looking to recover from last week's defeat

Quakers have already drawn three times on their travels this season, and won away in the FA Cup at West Didsbury and Chorlton.

They won here last season, in Steve Watson and Terry Mitchell's first game in charge, Mitch Curry scoring a last minute winner.
