MACCLESFIELD face long-ball Lincoln having to make some enforced changes to the side that beat Carlisle.

Manager David Moss said: "We have picked up one or two knocks and so will need to bring in some fresh faces.

"It will be a tough game. It's an aggressive place to visit and we'll have to be on the top of our game."

As Karl Munroe and Steve Macauley are likely to be sidelined, Matt Haddrell may be given an outing alongside Michael Welch, with Moss tempted to play Hitchen as the sweeper in a back five.

Chris Priest may also get a start in place of David Flitcroft, with David Beresford dropping to the bench.

Last season: Lincoln City 3 Macclesfield Town 0

Key opponent: Ben Futcher - the tall centre back is one of the best in the division.

Prediction: Lincoln 2 Macc 0
