There were two changes for City as they looked to make it three wins on the bounce against basement side Barnet.

Shane Duff took over in centre defence for the injured Steve Williams and regained the captain's armband.

With Jason Price going back to Carlisle, his spot up front went to James Hanson. New loan signing Mark Cullen had to settle for a place on the bench.

Tommy Doherty was also back among the substitutes after recovering from a slight ankle injury.

CITY: Pidgeley, Eckersley, Duff, Oliver, O'Brien, Adeyemi, Bullock, Syers, Evans, Daley, Hanson. Subs: Doherty, Osborne, Chilaka, Kiernan, Threlfall, Cullen, McLaughlin.
