Bristol Rovers predicted team vs Lincoln City with Chris Martin expected to make league return

Rovers predicted lineup to face Lincoln City

Bristol Rovers are set to welcome Lincoln City to the Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they look to make it three wins from three in League One. Joey Barton's side have made a strong start to the new campaign, following up their opening day victory over Forest Green Rovers with a midweek success at Morecambe. Lincoln, meanwhile, have drawn their opening two matches, so will be looking to get their first win of the season under their belts. Here is our predicted Bristol Rovers team to face Lincoln City: * Goalkeeper: James Belshaw * Defenders: Luca Hoole, Lewis Gibson, James Connolly, Josh Grant * Midfielders: Paul Coutts, Sam Finley, Glenn Whelan * Forwards: Antony Evans, Chris Martin, Josh Coburn

Martin is expected to make his first league start for Rovers since returning to the club on a free transfer in the summer.

The former Derby County striker made a goalscoring appearance in the Carabao Cup win over Cheltenham Town last week and will be looking to add to his tally against Lincoln.

Barton has no new injury concerns to contend with, so is likely to name an unchanged team from the one that started at Morecambe.

Rovers will be confident of making it three wins from three, but they will need to be wary of a Lincoln side that will be desperate to get their first victory of the season.
