With attentions temporarily turning to the Carabao Cup, Ross is set to take the opportunity to rotate his squad ahead of a key clash with Portsmouth at the weekend.
So which players could be handed a start at the Wham Stadium? We take a look at NINE players who could be in-line for a chance to shine...
5. Lee Burge
With Jon McLaughlin set to don the gloves in League One for the foreseeable future, the trip to Accrington Stanley may hand Burge a chance to gain some minutes. Photo: FRANK REID
6. Elliot Embleton
Impressive in pre-season but dropped at Ipswich on Saturday, Embleton could have a big part to play in unlocking a stubborn Accrington defence - if he's given the chance to start. Photo: FRANK REID
7. Benji Kimpioka
The enigmatic forward was a regular in pre-season and featured heavily in the cup competitions last term. Could he be given a similar opportunity to shine in the 2019/20 season? Photo: FRANK REID
