City Looking For Second Win

Last updated : 16 March 2004 By Andy Beill
The 2-1 win against rivals Scunthorpe on Saturday ended a three-match losing streak but the promotion charge is now back on.

Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill picked up an injury late on in that game. He hurt his ankle when collecting a ball and had to receive treatment after hobbling around his penalty area. However, he's been passed fit to play tonight so his deputy Paul Musselwhite will stay on the bench.

Jason Price also took a knock to his calf but should be okay. Ryan France or Stuart Green would be able to fill in for him if he's struggling.

Danny Allsopp - who has been overtaken by Ben Burgess in the top scorers chart - is expected to be among the substitutes again. The former Manchester City and Notts County striker managed a comeback from a groin injury for the last ten minutes of the game without any adverse reaction. He'll be looking for his first goal in over five weeks if he does come on again to add to the 13 he's already bagged this season.

The likes of Andy Holt, Jamie Forrester and Justin Whittle are set to watch from the stands once more as they can't even force their way onto the subs bench.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Myhill; Marshall, Joseph, Delaney, Thelwell; Price, Ashbee, Lewis, Elliott; Walters, Burgess.
Subs: Musselwhite, Hinds, Green, France, Allsopp.
