Head2Head & Team News - Lincoln City

Well, where do we start, from new ownerships, to ground moves, to points deductions, it certainly promises to be an 'interesting' League Two campaign.

The Millers will be aiming for survival surely after their 17 point deduction, but cannot afford that mentality and it's imperative they get off to a flyer, starting with tomorrow's visit of Lincoln for the first competitive game at Sheffield's Don Valley Stadium.

Boss Mark Robins will have all but one of his summer signings available in a squad that will see just one injury absentee - striker Mark Burchill has a groin injury and will miss out. New boy Reuben Reid, promising in pre-season, and a man looking to have a major impact this season Ryan Taylor, are the likely starters in attack.

Pablo Mills will captain the side after Graham Coughlan's exit last week, there could also be starting places for Alex Rhodes and Michael Cummins in midfield depending on the formation Robins decides to plump for. Nick Fenton goes straight into the squad after signing this afternon from Grimsby Town.

Visitors City are pushing for promotion after a season of struggle last term, but will be looking for a top three birth after suffering play-off hoodoo's over the past few years.

They look strong in numbers and typically powerful. Veteran Trevor Sinclair and Janos Kovacs have arrived at the club, with their goal threat coming from ex-Wednesday man David Graham and former Yeovil striker Kevin Gall.

Sinclair could miss out with a calf injury though, with Lee Beevers standing by to deputise. Ben Wright is also doubtful. Lee Frecklington still provides the midfield threat for the Imps, but Jamie Forrester has moved on, signing for Notts County.

Here's the head to head:
