There were three changes again for City - including one in goal.

Jon McLaughlin was recalled for his first game since October after Lenny Pidgeley was left out suffering from a migraine. Lloyd Saxton was the back-up keeper on the bench.

James Hanson and Shane Duff both returned as expected after proving their fitness. Mark Cullen and Rob Kiernan were among the subs.

CITY: McLaughlin, Eckersley, Oliver, Duff, Threlfall, Adeyemi, Bullock, Syers, O'Brien, Daley, Hanson. Subs: Cullen, Osborne, Evans, Hunt, Horne, Kiernan, Saxton.
