Match preview

Doncaster will be looking to bounce back after suffering a 2-1 defeat away to Leicester City on Saturday, ending a run of three consecutive victories across all competitions.

Head coach Grant McCann was left bemoaning a "disappointing" performance, branding the first goal they conceded "really unacceptable.

Before Saturday's defeat, Doncaster had kept three consecutive clean sheets across all competitions and picked up back-to-back league victories for the first time this season.

The Rovers will be keen to ensure the loss to Leicester is no more than a minor setback, but it is worth noting that they have not beaten Stockport in their last seven meetings across all competitions.

Stockport are one of League One's in-form teams, having won their last three matches to leave them just one point behind top-of-the-table Bradford City.

The Hatters beat Bromley 1-0 thanks to a goal from Kyle Wootton, who is the division's joint top scorer with eight strikes in 10 games. 

Head coach Jimmy McNulty has been delighted with his side's impressive form, claiming they have been "outstanding" all season.

Stockport will be looking to carry that momentum into Tuesday's clash, knowing that they could go top with a win if results elsewhere go in their favour.
