The 64-year-old confirmed Keshi Anderson is in contention to make his squad while both Lewis Fiorini and Ian Poveda are also available after a line was drawn under their recent disciplinary issue.
Gary Madine, however, is to miss out as a result of the knee injury he suffered against Bristol City on Saturday.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday night’s game, McCarthy hinted there would be at least a “couple” of changes to his side.

8. CM - Kenny Dougall
The Seasiders missed his defensive presence on Saturday and it was a surprise he wasn't brought off the bench sooner. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
9. RW - Josh Bowler
A tricky one this. Bowler clearly hasn't been at his best in recent weeks but he's still one of a select few who can make something happen. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
10. LW - Morgan Rogers
Could well be utilised up front along Yates, but if not he would feel more at home replacing Luke Garbutt on the left. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
11. CAM - Sonny Carey
Failed to make an impact against Bristol City but he was far from being the only one. At least offers a goal threat. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
12. ST - Jerry Yates
Following Saturday's costly miss he'll be desperate to make amends in front of the home fans. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
