Shrewsbury Town v. Leigh RMI preview

Leigh RMI make the long trip to face Shrewsbury Town on Monday evening in a vital Nationwide Conference game which will be screened live by Sky Sports.

RMI boss Phil Starbuck has been boosted by the return to the side of Warren Peyton and Wayne Maden who have both completed their suspensions, though Steve Redmond and Carl Rezai will both be missing because of bans.

The hosts are without the suspended Luke Rodgers after his sending off against Scarborough last month.

Martin O'Connor is a doubt after picking up a thigh injury in the victory over Woking, while Sam Aiston plays his last game before serving a two-match suspension.

RMI will be desperate for victory to help haul themselves closer towards Nationwide Conference safety and, although the odds are stacked against them, they will look to their shock victory at Hereford United earlier in the season for inspiration.
