Mathias Ross comes in for Julio Pleguezuelo; Bim Pepple, who scored Argyle’s equaliser against Wycombe Wanderers last time out, is in for the injured Owen Oseni; and Joe Ralls returns from suspension, ostensibly replacing Xavier Amaechi, who is on the bench.
Caleb Watts is on Argyle’s bench, in a squad for the first time since getting injured at Luton Town on 13 September. Brendan Galloway, who was with Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations, has returned to England, and is on the bench.
Stevenage’s 11 contains former Pilgrim Jordan Houghton, while another ex-Argyle man, Saxon Earley, is on the bench.
