Elliott Recall Expected

Stuart Elliott - back for City

Northern Irishman Elliott missed last week's game against Carlisle because he was on international duty, and then served a one-match suspension on Tuesday when the reserves defeated Darlington.

But now he is fully available for action and is expected to go straight back into the side on left wing, with Andy Holt on the bench.

There is also competition for the right-back spot. Richard Hinds has been ever present this season, but with Alton Thelwell fully fit he may be forced to sit out.

Hinds - who is to sign a contract extension - will probably join Jamie Forrester on the bench, despite the forward scoring in each of the last three games.

Injured defenders Marc Joseph and John Anderson are the only players unavailable to Peter Taylor.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Musselwhite; Thelwell, Whittle, Delaney, Dawson; Price, Green, Ashbee, Elliott; Allsopp, Burgess.
Subs: Fettis, Hinds, Holt, Keates, France, Forrester.
