Torps is struggling with a knee injury, and despite not training yesterday faces a late fitness test after travelling to Wales with the squad.
If Torps doesn't make it then Mark Anderson could be called upon to make his first start for the club, or on loan Craig Dudley could partner Brian Quailey.
Lee Hodges will return to the starting XI in his prefered left win role, with Scott Brough and Carl Bradshaw battling for the remaining midfield place.
A victory tonight could move us to within a point of third placed Mansfield Town, whom United travel to play on Saturday.
The Stags however have several games in hand on the Iron, United manager Brian Laws would undoubtedly have the points on the board though.
