The Imps welcome high-flying Shrewsbury Town to Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon looking to bounce back from Tuesday's FA Cup exit against Kettering Town.

With the exception of Adrian Patulea, who has been receiving treatment all week on a hamstring strain, manager Peter Jackson has a fully-fit squad to choose from, although Tuesday's disappointing 2-1 defeat to Kettering in the FA Cup sponsored by E.ON first round replay, might see him ring the changes for the visit of third-placed Shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson, meanwhile, who was at Sincil Bank for the Kettering Cup tie, will be without both Ben Herd and Mike Jackson due to suspension, whilst midfielder Ben Davies remains on the sidelines due to injury.

Experienced centre-back Graham Coughlan is available again having missed last week's 2-2 draw at Chesterfield and he'll be joined in the squad by goalkeeper Matt Gilks who today joined the Shrews on loan from Blackpool.

Kick-off at Sincil Bank Stadium is 3.00pm and the match referee is Graham Scott from Oxfordshire.
