Dunfermline welcome back midfielder Alex Burke to their squad for the Scottish Cup fourth round tie.
However, manager Jim McIntyre is again without the injured Greg Paterson, Jack Ross and Steven Bell along with Willie Gibson, who has been ill.
Montrose manager Steven Tweed: "It is a game we are looking forward to and it is a great opportunity for our young squad to test themselves against a strong full time side.
"We are massive underdogs but we are at home so we have a chance. If Dunfermline do not play well and we hit top form we may just pull off a great result."
Dunfermline manager Jim McIntyre: "We have trained on an artificial surface this week in preparation for this game to try and reduce any advantage Montrose would have.
"You only need to look at Raith Rovers' result at Alloa and how we struggled to beat Stenhousemuir last season to see how much these pitches can influence games."
"It is a game we are expected to win but you cannot just turn up and win games you have to work hard to earn anything. Montrose will fight for everything and we need to match that at least."
