Gareth Evans handed Peter Taylor a pre-match boost when he was declared fit after a foot injury.

But City were still hit by the absence of Omar Daley, Michael Flynn, Simon Ramsden and Matt Clarke.

Ryan Kendall was handed his first start after coming off the bench to score against Dagenham last week.

And Lee Bullock returned from a two-game ban as a straight swap for the injured Flynn.

CITY: Glennon, Rehman, Williams, Oliver, Threlfall, Evans, Bolder, Bullock, L O'Brien, Kendall, Hanson. Subs: Bateson, Horne, O'Leary, Grant, J O'Brien, Osborne, McLaughlin.
