Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Shrewsbury vs Lincoln lineups.
Shrewsbury
Despite a turbulent summer, poor finances and a managerial change right on the eve of the new campaign Shrewsbury have managed to win 2 of their opening 3 league games so far, both at home.
The Shrews made a strong start to their home match vs Burton on Tuesday and after scoring twice in the first half they claimed a deserved 2-1 victory. Dunkley celebrated his return from injury in this match with the all-important second goal.
The squad is very small due to the restricted finances and this limits the options for rotation. Still, after being benched in midweek Flanagan should start again now. Not many other changes are likely though.
The main right-back Nurse and the useful midfielder Thorpe are the only injury concerns. Nurse has been out for 12 months now so the Shrews are used to playing without him.
Predicted Lineup:
Marosi (GK), Feeney, Flanagan, Dunkley, Winchester, Kenneh, Perry, Bayliss, Shipley, Bowman& Udoh
Lincoln
Lincoln started the new season with mixed results in the first 3 rounds (W1 D1 L1). They should have secured their second win on Tuesday night but somehow saw a 2-0 lead on their visit to Northampton slip away inside the final 10 minutes and the Imps had to settle for a point.
Conceded 5 goals already and defensively things had been very shaky when asked to defend set pieces and crosses from the flanks.
Lincoln can refresh their lineup if they wish to do so with the only injured player that is set to miss being the rarely used anyway defender Lewis Montsma.
Predicted Lineup:
Jensen (GK), Eyoma, O’Connor, Roughan, Sørensen, Erhahon, Hamilton, Brown, Mandroiu, House & Hackett-Fairchild
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Cheyenne Dunkley
Shrewsbury’s captain and main centre-back Cheyenne Dunkley is a player that can impact a match at both ends. Dunkley scored on Tuesday in his first start of the campaign after overcoming an injury. He also scored 7 goals last season, all from set pieces.
Now against a Lincoln team struggling to defend set pieces, Dunkley would fancy his chances to play a key role once again.
