We look ahead to Saturday's big game
We look ahead to tomorrow's npower League 2 game at Fleetwood.
Team News
United have Deane Smalley and Adam Chapman available again after injury as they head for Fleetwood for the very first time. The pair have trained for the last two weeks and are included in the squad who travelled north on Friday morning for the game.
James Constable misses the game as he serves the last of his four game ban, but will be back for the home game against Burton on Tuesday night. In his absence Manager Chris Wilder must decide whether to bring Tom Craddock back into the line-up after a change of shape at Bradford last time out. Liam Davis is ruled out with a hamstring problem.
See a full preview show in Yellow Player, featuring a Deane Smalley interview, along with the thoughts of Mickey Lewis in another video exclusive.
The Opposition
Fleetwood Town skipper Rob Atkinson told the official Fleetwood website that both teams will be ready for action this weekend after recent postponements.
“Obviously both teams will want to take the points and I think it will be a close game" he said. "We’ve been mentally and physically preparing for this game and training hard after the unfortunate postponement at Barnet. The lads will be eager to perform and we are all in good shape”.
The Cod Army are rumoured to be close to signing Hull city midfielder Paul McKenna, a former team mate of Manager Graham Alexander who took over the reins at Highbury in November.
