TEAM NEWS
Joe McNerney (knee) and Jimmy Smith (foot) are both missing for the Reds.
The Magpies come into the game with a fully fit squad that including former Reds' striker Izale McLeod, who joined the Magpies on a two-year contract during the summer.
THE FORM GUIDE
Mark Yates' side come into the game off the back of a solid 1-0 victory over Cambridge United, which made it seven home wins out of eight in the league, thanks to a goal from striker Matt Harrold.
Notts County boss Jamie Fullarton takes charge of his first Notts game in the knowing that the Magpies have only won one away game all season and are without a win in four. His side fell to a late 4-2 defeat against Oxford United last time out when they conceded two goals in stoppage time.
VIEW FROM THE BENCH
: "The challenge for us is to keep the home form going. We enjoy playing here and we have made it a tough place for opposing teams to come. Notts County are in a false position in my opinion - when you look at their squad they have a lot of good players at this level. It's another hard game for us - as they all are."Mark Yates
