Notts County team news as Luke Williams makes four changes against Eastleigh

Luke Williams has made four changes to the side that drew with Southend at Roots Hall on Tuesday evening.

The Magpies drew consecutive games for the second time this season, and the Notts boss has opted to shuffle his back ahead of their trip to the Silverlake Stadium.

In come Connell Rawlinson, Tobi Adebayo-Rowling, Ed Francis and Sam Austin, with suggestions of fatigue and two long distance trips taking its toll on a couple of the Notts players.

Aden Baldwin, Geraldo Bajrami, Aaron Nemane and Cedwyn Scott drop to the bench, with Quevin Castro not able to overcome the shoulder injury he sustained in midweek.

This will be a first start un the league for Francis since the Magpies' third game of the season against Gateshead, having been bumped down the pecking order by Bajrami in recent weeks following the injury to Jim O'Brien.

A reshuffle at wing-back in no way weakens the side this afternoon, with Adebayo-Rowling producing another impressive display in Essex in midweek after replacing Nemane who was far from his best.

Austin also comes in for his first league start since 4-1 win over Halifax Town back in August, hoping to supply the goalscoring feet of Macaulay Langstaff as he approaches the 20-goal mark already this season.

Notts line-up: Slocombe; Cameron, Rawlinson, Brindley, Chicksen, Adebayo-Rowling; Francis, Palmer, Rodrigues, Austin, Langstaff.

SUBS: Baldwin, Bajrami, Nemane, Scott, Mitchell.
