Plymouth winger Yannick Bolasie returns to the squad for the first time this season after recovering from a knee injury sustained in pre-season.
Defenders Bondz N'Gala and Lee Molyneux are both available after suspension and are pushing for recalls.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:"We're making sure we try and get to the 50 point mark as fast as we can but there are no guarantees of that."
"We aren't accustomed to League One football just yet but we're making steady progress and we're getting points on the board."
"I suppose this moment in time we are still a little bit of a surprise element and while we're that surprise we've got no fear of anybody and want to pick up as many points as we can."
Plymouth Argyle head coach Paul Mariner told BBC Radio Devon: "The mood is buoyant but as I've said before just a few seconds of madness is costing us dearly and we're really getting punished.
"The work-rate and the enthusiasm of the team is fantastic and we've just got a couple of things to adjust and we'll be alright.
"I think Rochdale are going to play a similar way to Brighton. They play football, they're not a team that launches it, so it should be a decent game."
