The Iron are in Emirates FA Cup action this Saturday when they take on Burton Albion in the first round at Glanford Park (3.00pm).
Stuart McCall’s side will be looking to build on last weekend’s second-half performance against Oxford United, following a three-goal comeback to earn a point. Goals from Matthew Lund, George Thomas and Charlie Goode ensured the Iron completed a fightback from 3-0 down.
Meanwhile, Burton, who are in the same division as Scunthorpe, won 3-1 away at Walsall.
TEAM NEWS…
Lund and Lee Novak both came through last Saturday's game against Oxford fine after recovering from injuries.
Meanwhile, Stephen Humphrys has shaken off a hamstring injury and will be available for selection.
The game will probably come too soon for Funso Ojo (hamstring), while Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (hip) is a doubt.
Elsewhere, Josh Morris (jaw), Matt Gilks (knee) and Rory Watson (arm) continue to miss out.
PAST MEETINGS…
The two sides met earlier this season at the Pirelli Stadium, which resulted in a goalless draw.
Overall, the Iron have played Burton five times, which includes two wins, two draws and a defeat.
