'Freshen things up' - three changes in Doncaster Rovers predicted lineup vs Stockport County

Doncaster Rovers host promotion hopefuls Stockport County in the second meeting between the two sides this season.

The pair previously faced off in August during this season’s curtain raiser at Edgley Park. It was a tight fought affair in the League Cup with Alfie May firing in a goal on his debut before the Hatters instantly hit back through a goal from Kyle Wootton. Ultimately, Rovers prevailed from the cup contest by winning a penalty shoot-out, with Tommy Simkin producing a series of impressive saves and Jamie Sterry keeping his cool to convert an audacious panenka penalty.

Grant McCann’s side will hope to use that victory as a good omen heading into this week’s clash. However, they’ll be more than aware of the threat posed by Jimmy McNulty’s side who are currently second in the League One table and pushing for promotion after reaching the play-off final last season.

Doncaster Rovers haven’t made a great start to the campaign but have shown signs of improvement after winning two of their last three League One matches. Here’s our predicted lineup for the game on Tuesday evening which includes three changes from the team that fell to defeat against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
