Jon Worthington came straight into the City side after signing a month's loan from Oldham.

The former Huddersfield skipper was one of three changes from the Aldershot defeat, replacing the injured Lee Bullock.

Worthington's arrival meant there was Tommy Doherty in the squad and he will go under the knife on Thursday.

Gareth Evans was recalled in place of Robbie Threlfall, with Luke O'Brien dropping back into defence.

The third change saw Leon Osborne given his first start since November as City lined up 4-3-3. Omar Daley dropped to the bench where he was joined by Michael Flynn.

CITY: McLaughlin, Eckersley, Oliver, Duff, O'Brien, Adeyemi, Worthington, Syers, Evans, Hanson, Osborne. Subs: Flynn, Daley, Speight, Hunt, Threlfall, Cullen, Saxton.
