Jim Goodwin has made three changes to this afternoon’s DUFC XI!
Jack Walton, Kevin Holt and Glenn Middleton are all drafted in from the start in place of Dave Richards, Kai Fotheringham and Ryan Strain - the latter missing out through injury.
Our North Macedonian duo are involved again after impressing in midweek, Kristijan Trapanovski hit a brace of assists and a goal on his home debut.
Vicko Ševelj is the one to take Strain’s place at right wing-back as we keep the same shape that paid dividends in midweek.
There are seven DUFC Academy graduates involved in our matchday squad.
