BURY will be looking to get back to winning ways after their disappointment at going out of the cup and frustration after their midweek game at Notts County was called off.

The Shakers have had an eventful time since the Pilgrims visited Gigg Lane last season when they won 5-0.

That result was Mike Walsh's last as manager, and following the appointment of Stan Ternent, the Shakers recovered to clinch promotion at the last gasp.

The successful start to this season is due in no small part to Bury's impressive young defence.

This week Bury rejected a bid from Preston for Chris Lucketti which manager Ternent described as "insufficient". And said that he "is looking to build a side ,not sell one". However both Coventry and Manchester City are known to be tracking the 24 year old.

Looking forward to the game the Shakers boss commented: "Saturday will be a tough match for us. We need to bounce back after last week and Plymouth had a great win over Fulham 5-0, though they lost in midweek at Chesterfield."

The squad is: Kiely, Butler, Lucketti, Jackson, West, Daws, Johnrose, Pugh, Johnson, Matthews, Carter, Jepson, Rigby, Hughes, Armstrong, O'Kane.
