TEAM NEWS
John Rooney’s men have trained well this week with each player vying for a place in the starting eleven. The match day squads have remained similar to date, though as the season progresses, the squad is likely to be rotated, taking in to account those requiring minutes and managing those who have played more than others so far this season. A couple of players are doubts for the fixture, with a degree of versatility required from the squad for Saturday’s test in the North East.
Further team news will be provided an hour before kick off.
