Deano Makes Boothferry Return

Last updated : 02 August 2002 By Andy Beill
McClaren, a former City player himself, also includes England internationals Gareth Southgate and Ugo Ehiogu in the team, and £8million signing Massimo Maccarone. Italian defender Gianluca Festa will be on the bench.

City will also be fielding their first eleven against the Premiership side. Stuart Green will be hoping to be fit to make his Boothferry Park debut. If not then the in-form Ryan Williams will continue to deputise.

Centre backs Greg Strong and John Anderson will be recalled after being rested for the Bradford game.

Expected line-ups:
City (4-3-3): Glennon; Edwards, Anderson, Strong, Smith; Green, Ashbee, Appleby; Dudfield, Alexander, Elliott.
Boro (4-3-3): Schwarzer; Stockdale, Ehiogu, Southgate, Queudrue; Wilson, Greening, Windass; Maccarone, Marinelli, Whelan.
