Team News
In his first game as caretaker boss following the sacking of Tommy Cummings, Arthur Cox recalls Alan Deakin and Willie Anderson in place of Tommy Mitchinson and Barry Hole. Hole did not feature in the match following a bust up with caretaker manager Arthur Cox which led to him storming out and being suspended by the club.
