TEAM NEWS

City: Lee Novak scored in the return fixture against the Red Devils but will be sidelined for Tuesday’s clash. He remains out with Callum Cooke, Reece Staunton and Zeli Ismail.

Levi Sutton could be in contention for the fixture after Conor Sellars last week confirmed he was close to returning from injury.

Crawley: Tom Nichols is the club’s top scorer this season with 15 goals and is looking likely to feature - having played against Southend United last time out.

Former Bantam Josh Wright started against the Shrimpers on Saturday and should play a part in Tuesday’s encounter at the Utilita Energy Stadium.
