Bury will be without suspended defender Andrai Jones when they host local rivals Oldham.

Jones received a second booking in the closing stages of last weekend's 4-2 win over Notts County, a victory that secured npower League One status for Richie Barker's side next season.
Phil Picken is expected to come in for the 20-year-old in what will be his first appearance since featuring as a substitute in the 4-1 triumph over Chesterfield on Easter Monday.
Elsewhere, Barker has a fully fit squad to choose from and is expected to stick with a swashbuckling 4-4-2 formation.
The Shakers have four wins in five outings on the back of 13 without victory, scoring 11 times in the process, and skipper Steven Schumacher believes the tactical changes has been vital in this turnaround.
"During the middle part of the season, we had to change formation (to 4-5-1) to be a little more solid," he told The Bury Times. "I think it was necessary, but, thankfully, we've gone back to what we're good at and we've taken our performances on from last year to this year."
