Preview: Accrington Stanley vs. Notts County

Tuesday evening will see Notts County travel to Accrington Stanley in a bid to progress to the second round of the FA Cup.

Failure to beat John Coleman's charges at Meadow Lane on Sunday 9 November means that the Magpies have a replay on their hands, the original game finishing goalless.

For Stanley, loanees John O'Sullivan and Sean Maguire will not be eligible to play in the FA Cup first-round replay.

Blackburn Rovers midfielder O'Sullivan and West Ham United striker Maguire have not been granted permission to play in this competition, so Josh Windass and James Gray are in contention to feature at the Crown Ground.

Full-back Adam Buxton and midfielder Anthony Barry are both back in training for Stanley, but Tuesday's fixture may still be too soon for them.

Stanley have failed to score in either of their last two fixtures, with manager John Coleman suggesting he may need to make some changes in his line-up.

For Notts, goalkeeper Roy Carroll is set to play his third game in five days, after he lined up between the sticks for Northern Ireland in Romania on Friday night before his frankly legendary feat of heading back to England - on about three hours' sleep - to feature in Saturday's League One win at Coventry City.

Mustapha Dumbuya and Mike Petrasso are still away on international duty with Sierra Leone and Canada respectively, so they won't feature (let's not be too harsh on them, given Carroll's audacious precedent being set!).

Loan signing Stephen McLaughlin is again cup-tied, while Louis Laing, Jake Cassidy and Hayden Mullins are struggling with injuries.

The winners of the tie will be at home to Yeovil Town in round two.
