Lincoln City will be aiming to record back-to-back league wins at Sincil Bank as they host Birmingham City in the Championship.
The Imps have made a solid start to life in the Championship and were emphatic winners over struggling Burnley last weekend as they fought back from a goal down to win 4-1.
Surprisingly that was Lincoln's first home win of the season following away triumphs at Bolton, Preston and Bristol City, but they will be looking to build some momentum in front of their home supporters against a Birmingham side that stumbled last weekend.
Chris Davies' Blues had won three on the spin against West Brom, Preston and QPR to lift themselves to fourth, but they were soundly beaten by Cardiff City in the Welsh capital and they will be keen to ensure another newly promoted side fail to haunt them on Halloween.
Lincoln City v Birmingham City team news
Goalkeeper George Wickens is set to make his 100th appearance for Lincoln since joining from Fulham in 2024.
Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw have been boosted by the availability of Freddie Draper, who returns from his suspension and is on the bench.
Sonny Bradley was a doubt heading into the contest after suffering a muscle injury, but the centre-back is deemed fit to start.
There is one change for the Imps as Ivan Varfolomeev replaces Conor McGrandles in midfield.
Birmingham striker August Priske missed the fixture against Cardiff but returns to lead the line in Lincolnshire as he replaces Luis Vazquez.
Priske is one of three alterations as Ethan Laird makes his first start of the season at right-back in place of Bright Osayi-Samuel, and Patrick Roberts returns to the XI for Carlos Vicente.
