PREVIEW: LEICESTER v SCUNTHORPE (KOC)

LEICESTER defend a 14-point advantage at home to Scunthorpe in the second leg of their KO Cup tie tonight (Saturday).

The Lions were convincing winners at the Eddie Wright Raceway last month – but boss Stewart Dickson is looking for them to step up from recent performances.

He said: “We won’t be taking them for granted even though we have a handy lead in the Cup-tie.

“Scunny have riders who know our track and it should be a good night of speedway. I’ve got to get my positive hat on and I’m looking forward to it, and I hope all our fans are too.”

LEICESTER: Nick Morris, Ty Proctor, Kyle Howarth, Josh Bates, Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Joe Thompson.
SCUNTHORPE: Josh Auty, Simon Lambert, Theo Pijper, Tero Aarnio, Thomas Jorgensen, Josh Macdonald, Jordan Palin
