Stuart McCall was forced into a defensive reshuffle after Steve Williams joined Zesh Rehman on the sidelines.

Williams, who hit the winner at Darlington last week, nicked his hamstring on training on Thursday.

So Simon Ramsden moved across to the middle to partner Matt Clarke. He also kept the captaincy.

Jon Bateson came in at right back - the only change from the previous game.

With Rory Boulding also injured, City named only five substitutes.

CITY: Eastwood, Bateson, Ramsden, Clarke, L O'Brien, Neilson, Bullock, Flynn, Whaley, Hanson, Boulding. Subs: Evans, Brandon, J O'Brien, Horne, McLaughlin.
