Campbell: This is a hard game Bottom-of-the-table Forfar entertain league leaders Cowdenbeath with new recruit Bradley Coyne included in Dick Campbell's squad after joining from St Mirren.
Campbell has fitness doubts over Iain Campbell, David Mowat and Martyn Fotheringham.
He said: "None of the three players completed training on Thursday and that is a worry." The Loons boss added: "This will be a hard game and any team that finishes above Cowdenbeath this year will win the league as they are in the great habit of grinding out results.
"It is a game I am really looking forward to as we have been much more like the Forfar I want to see in recent games and that bodes well for this one and the rest of the season." Cowdenbeath striker Greg Stewart is available after shrugging off an ankle injury.
Defender Thomas O'Brien remains out due to a broken metatarsal and Kenny Adamson is a doubt with a hamstring problem.
However, David Cowan is available after signing an extended deal until the end of the season.
Central Park boss Colin Cameron said: "Forfar will be flying after winning at Stenhousemuir last week and will see this as an opportunity to show they are in a false position.
"However, if the boys keep doing what they have been doing we can go up there and get a positive result.

Low has Forfar on a high Forfar produced a shock result to upset leaders Cowdenbeath 1-0 and move off the bottom of the Second Division.
Mark Ramsay almost put the Blue Brazil ahead after six minutes but his curling effort was tipped wide by Marc McCallum, while Nicky Low hit a post for the home side in the 20th minute.
But Low made no mistake on the stroke of half-time when Bradley Coyne crossed for him to fire a left-footed shot low past Thomas Flynn.
Cowdenbeath, who had not been beaten in the league since October, bombarded the Forfar goal in the second half but found McCallum in fine fettle.
