Bury entertain goal-hungry Accrington Stanley at Gigg Lane with boss Alan Knill confident his side are in solid shape.

The Shakers beat Shrewsbury on penalties in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in midweek and held high-flying Rotherham to a 1-1 draw last weekend.

Knill said of the Millers point “I was delighted with the performance, but disappointed with the result.

“For my players to compete like that against a team that has far more resources than us, I think deserves a lot of credit.

“You look at Rotherham’s squad and we lost two of our players to them. We didn’t want to lose them but we couldn’t afford to keep them.”

Bury are a place and a point ahead of Accy - who beat Gillingham 7-4 last week - in the table.

Bury league form: LDWWD

Accrington league form: DWLDW

Key opponent: Sean McConville - midfielder with an eye for goal
