TEENAGER Kian Scales has been handed just his second league start this evening.

Joint-boss Conor Sellars talked him up yesterday in his pre-match press conference, and the 19-year-old comes in to replace Gareth Evans, with the veteran not at his best against Oldham on Saturday.

Early indications suggest Scales will feature in the number 10 role that Callum Cooke had performed so well in before his injury.

Scales' only other league game was on December 1, in a 2-1 defeat to Cheltenham.

The other change for City sees Andy Rowe come in up front for Danny Rowe.

CITY: O'Donnell, A. O'Connor, P. O'Connor, Canavan, Wood, Watt, Sutton, Crankshaw, Vernam, Scales, Cook. Subs: Hornby, Donaldson, Stevens, Foulds, Evans, Burrell, D. Rowe.

SCUNTHORPE: Howard, Howe, Clarke, Bedeau, Brown, Gilliead, Spence, Karacan, Eisa, Green, Loft. Subs: Watson, Hippolyte, Beestin, Olomola, J. Rowe, Jessop, McAtee.
