Luke Matheson struggled on debut last week, so Jai Rowe could revert to right-back with Alex Kenyon coming in at the base of midfield. Goalkeeper Tom Billson recovered from a knee injury sufficiently to make the bench recently, but Rory Watson has defied his doubters this season and could keep out the Coventry loanee. Scot Bennett will float between being an anchor man and a centre-back flanked by James Clarke and Mickey Demetriou. The Exiles will be without dribbler Courtney Senior, who is absent due to injury.
Scunthorpe United are hoping teen sensation Luke Matheson can inspire them to safety, after the right-back joined on loan from Wolves - the former Rochdale starlet needs match practice after a tough stint at Hamilton - but no instant impact from the youngster in a 2-0 loss at Exeter. Newport County, meanwhile, will feel they can push for automatic promotion this season after a 4-0 thumping of Harrogate, watched on by Wayne Hatswell with James Rowburry absent. The rotation of movement between left-back Ryan Haynes and midfielder Finn Azaz looks hard for opponents to second-guess, while Dom Telford and Courtney Baker-Richardson continue to give the Exiles a cutting edge up top. 1:2
