McEveley Suprise Inclusion

Manager Joe Royle had previously told journalists that the Premiership defender who suffered medial ligament damage, was still two weeks away from full fitness.

However, with Fabian Wilnis a doubt and Jason De Vos and Richard Naylor also sitting out part of this weeks training, Royle is tight on defensive options and Jay's inclusive seems rather forced.

Alan Lee is also in the 18 man squad but he, along with Jimmy Juan, is a doubt ahead of the match.

Squad: Barron, Currie, De Vos, Garvan, Haynes, Juan, Lee, Magilton, McDonald, McEveley, Naylor, Price, Richards, Sito, Skard, Supple, Westlake,
Wilnis.
