Kevin Nolan expecting tough game as Notts County host Accrington Stanley

Kevin Nolan has told his Notts County players to expect a tough game against Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane tonight.

The Magpies overcame a poor start in League Two this season to find themselves in a position where they can top the fledging league table with victory in this gameweek's first fixture.

County's recent record against the Lancastrians, however, is far from impressive, with four defeats and two draws in the last six encounters.

"I love football under the lights," Nolan told the official Notts site. "It's always a fantastic occasion but it won't be easy against Accrington - it never is.

"They always pose a threat and have some really good players. Billy Kee has done it for years at this level and they have added well over the summer.

"Kayden Jackson has four goals in his first five games and will be a major threat for them.

"We had three deserved results last week which give us great confidence going into the game but we know if we don't match them for effort, enthusiasm and quality we will be in for a tough night."
