Preview: Scunthorpe – Town

Town travel to Glanford Park tomorrow to take on Scunthorpe United, with Town looking to continue their good start to the season.

Jake Livermore is expected to be included in the Town squad for the game tomorrow but is likely to start on the bench. Shane O'Connor is missing from action.

Town manager Roy Keane: "Fortunes can quickly change in football and we have to be wary of that. Just looked at what happened against QPR a week or so back.

"The players deserve a lot of credit for what they have achieved so far but we are only just a handful of games into the season. There's a long, long way to go yet.

"The players are playing with confidence and we've got to try and keep that going. We've got to stay at full pelt now.

"There is a good competition for places and if we do make changes from the team that played at Millwall, any lads coming in have got to be ready because I'm expecting it to be another tight game at Scunthorpe.

"We had two close games with them last season and it could well be the same on Saturday.

"I thought Scunthorpe played pretty well against (Manchester) United in midweek but our away form has been decent and we've got to stay solid and look to take the opportunities as we did at Millwall.

"Nigel Adkins did a good job there but the new manager has been there a long time. He knows the club and the players inside out, there might not be too many changes in terms of the mentality there because they have done very well at the club over the last few years."

The home side are likely to be missing Jim McNulty and Garry Thompson, while Rob Jones may return.
