    Injuries and Suspensions

    Robbie Savage, Emanuel Villa and Laurent Robert could all make their County bows. Miller (groin), Claude Davis (knee), Andy Todd (groin) could all miss out. Jay McEveley, Stephen Pearson, Stephen Bywater, David Jones and Dean Leacock all definitely miss out.



    Titus Bramble is available again but Antoine Sibierski comes into contention after recovering from a knee injury.
