Michael Skubala makes five changes to the side that battled to a point at Bradford City on Tuesday evening.  

Adam Jackson and Ryley Towler start in defence, replacing Tom Hamer and Sonny Bradley.  

Ivan Varfolomeev comes into midfield in place of Tom Bayliss, with Freddie Draper and Erik Ring in attack for Justin Obikwu and Rob Street.

Head coach Michael Skubala said: “It’s a brilliant competition, but a tricky and tough test against a team flying high in League Two.

“Tom Hamer had a slight groin injury after the Bradford City game so we’ve given him a rest, while we’ve freshened things up a bit with Ryley coming in for Sonny and the same in midfield with Ivan alongside Conor McGrandles.

“Erik Ring has trained really well and we think this game may suit him, hopefully he can show his quality for us. It’s a real opportunity for him.”

Imps: Wickens, Darikwa, Reach, Jackson, Towler, Collins, Ring, McGrandles, House, Varfolomeev, Draper.  

Subs: Pardington, Montsma, Bayliss, Thorn, Bradley, Street, Okoronkwo, Obikwu, Lembikisa.
