City will be looking to make it five games unbeaten at the LNER Stadium when they host Shrewsbury Town on Saturday 12 April (3pm KO).
Boss Michael Skubala and goalkeeper George Wickens were on press duty ahead of the fixture. You can read what they had to say, as well as familiarising yourself with key match information in this preview.
Michael Skubala:
“Shrewsbury know that they have to get something from the game otherwise their relegation will be confirmed, so we know it’ll be a challenge for us, but one that we think we can go after and get three points.
“Last time out against Charlton we performed very well against a good opposition. This time, we want to play a little differently and take the game to them.
“We want to dominate games at home, and I think in recent weeks we’ve been able to do that, we’ve got three games left here and we want to show what we can do.”

George Wickens:
“I feel like I've learned a lot since I came here. I’ve definitely grown during my time at the club and I am feeling more confident with each game.
“The reason I was so excited to come to a place like this is that I knew it would give me the opportunity to play regular first team football in a competitive league and I’m pleased I’ve been able to do that.
“There’s a lot of healthy competition for places here and that’s something else that has encouraged me to stay on top of my game.”
