Barnett set to start for Shrews

Tyrone Barnett could return to Shrewsbury's starting XI when they host Grimsby in the second round of the FA Cup.

The striker came off the bench to score the equalising goal in a 1-1 Sky Bet League One draw at Peterborough on Saturday so is in contention to start.

It is also hoped Larnell Cole, following a groin injury, will again be available for selection.

Ian Black is, however, unlikely to be fit, after being taken off on a stretcher at the weekend.

Grimsby boss Paul Hurst will make significant changes following Saturday's 1-1 draw against Solihull in the FA Trophy first round.

Only James McKeown, Richard Tate and Toto Nsiala are expected to retain their places after a result which increased the Mariners' festive fixture pile-up.

The replay against Solihull is the last thing Hurst wanted and has indicated his intention to make the most of his whole squad over the period.

Defender Danny East is making good progress following an ankle injury but will not be in a position to play.
