The Iron are in Emirates FA Cup action on Sunday when they make the sho trip to the Keepmoat Stadium to face Doncaster Rovers (kick-off 2.00pm).
Manager Graham Alexander will be hoping his side can continue their fine run of form and progress into the third round of the competition.
Last weekend saw United make it six league wins on a bounce with an impressive 2-0 victory over Charlton Athletic. Half-time substitute Josh Morris scored a spectacular brace to win the game.
TEAM NEWS…
The Iron will be without right-back Jordan Clarke who was forced off with a hamstring injury in the first-half of the Charlton game last Saturday. He will be out for the next fortnight at least, while Lee Novak (ankle) will also be out for two weeks after limping off injured at Bradford City.
Striker Simon Church is nearing a return to the team and could be involved on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Sam Mantom (groin), Luke Williams (hamstring) and Jonathon Margetts (knee) will continue to miss out.
PAST MEETINGS…
The two sides have already met twice this season in Doncaster, with the Iron first recording a 1-0 victory in the league, when Lee Novak bagged his first goal for the club.
In the Checkatrade Trophy, Clayton Lewis scored on his debut as the teams played out a 1-1 draw, but Darren Ferguson’s side gained the extra point by winning the penalty shootout.
