New signing Gregor Rioch goes straight in to the Leigh RMI side for this evening's Conference encounter as Burton Albion, as the Railwaymen look to get off the mark as far as this season's points tally is concerned.

Rioch, son of former Scotland defender and Bolton Wanderers and Arsenal manager Bruce, goes straight in to Phil Starbuck's squad for this evening's game after the former Hull defender joined Leigh from Conference rivals Northwich Victoria.

With no new injury worries or suspensions, Starbuck is set to stick with the same side that disappointingly lost 2-1 at home to newly-promoted Crawley Town on the first day of the Conference season on Saturday.

The hosts are without former Oldham striker Craig Dudley, who misses out with an eye injury, along with fellow injury victims Lee Ayres and Glenn Kirkwood, although the Brewers welcome back Robbie Talbot and Gary Crosby.
