With his side in flying form at present, Sampson is set to keep changes to a minimum against the improving Imps.
"I won't be looking to tinker too much," he told www.ntfc.co.uk.
Opposite number Chris Sutton has been boosted this week by the extension of Davide Somma's loan deal from Leeds and the return of two players from injury.
He told the official Lincoln City website: "Chris Herd came back to Lincoln and trained yesterday and also Matt Saunders should be back training today too."
"The return of these two players is a real boost for us ahead of Saturday."
