City Look To Bounce Back

Justin Whittle plays his last game before a two-match suspension, while Jon Otsembor makes his home debut. Damien Delaney and John Anderson are both expected to keep their places to make up the rest of the defence in front of Alan Fettis.

Martin Reeves should make his first start at the KC Stadium, but Richie Appleby doesn't appear to be at full fitness and may be rested. Peter Taylor has few options to replace the central midfielder except Steve Melton and Nathan Peat, or push Delaney into midfield alongside Dean Keates and Stuart Elliott.

Jon Walters looks to add to his three goals from four games since joining on loan from Bolton. He's just extended his loan deal until the end of the season, and will partner Jamie Forrester in attack.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Fettis; Otsemobor, Whittle, Anderson, Delaney; Reeves, Appleby, Keates, Elliott; Walters, Forrester.
Subs: Musselwhite, Smith, Regan, Melton, Jevons.
