    Bury v Shrewsbury preview

    Sky Bet League One basement boys Bury will be without Neil Danns for Tuesday's home clash with table-toppers Shrewsbury.

    Midfielder Danns came off in the first half of Saturday's 3-0 loss to Blackburn with a calf injury. Jermaine Beckford (thigh) is still sidelined, along with Craig Jones (groin), Joe Murphy and Stephen Dawson (both knee). The managerless Shakers remain with Ryan Lowe in caretaker charge.

    Shrewsbury skipper Abu Ogogo is unavailable for the contest as he starts a three-match suspension. The midfielder was sent off in Saturday's 2-1 win at Rotherham and the club decided against appealing against the decision.

    Jon Nolan is fit after recovering from a hip problem to score at the weekend. Defender Junior Brown is out for the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury in last month's win over Fleetwood.

    Prutton's prediction

    Bottom plays top in Sky Bet League One! Shrewsbury may have finally lost their first league game of the season a few weeks ago, but it didn't matter to them one bit as they bounced back immediately to win at Rotherham on Saturday and extend their gap at the top.

    Bury have looked hapless in recent weeks, and it's hard to see this game going against the form book.

    Prutton predicts: 0-2 (17/2 with Sky Bet)
