What would your starting line-up be? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Notts have a good recent record against Accrington. In the last four league games between the two sides, Notts are unbeaten with three wins & one draw. Accrington currently stand in 16th place in League 2 with thirty points.

Notts will be hoping to repeat their creditable performance that they achieved against MK Dons on 29th December. Notts will be hoping that Kouhyar will be fit to play after he went off injured against MK.

I expect Martin to keep with the same side that started against MK, unless Kouhyar is unfit to play. It will be important for Notts to get back to winning ways, after two draws & one defeat in their last three matches.

No match in League Two is easy & this match will be no different & I'm sure Accrington will sit back and try not to make it easy for Notts, but I do believe that Notts will get the win which will keep them in touch with the leaders. I predict a 3:0 win🙏

It didn't look good for Kouhyar on Monday, so it has to be doubtful he'll be fine for Thursday.

How immensely frustrating, his first start and he goes off injured.

As it's a home game I'd go with JJ at RWB as a replacement. Tsaroulla looked liberated on the left at MK so it'd be wrong to send him back to the right. We need more creativity. JJ has said before the right's his best position (if so, he's probably wrong :) ) so Accrington might be the right game for him and he can help us break them down.
