Newport County vs Bury - McKirdy in line to get more game time as Newport face Bury

Harry McKirdy will be hoping he has done enough to play some part when Newport host promotion hopefuls Bury.

On-loan Aston Villa man McKirdy scored Newport’s third goal in the 3-0 win against Cambridge on Saturday after coming off the bench in the 89th minute, and he could get more minutes on Friday.

Joss Labadie missed out last weekend after sustaining a gash to his ankle against Swindon and he will be checked.

Newport have an outside chance of making the play-offs, sitting five points behind seventh-placed Exeter with five games still to play.

Danny Mayor returns to contention for high-flying Bury.

Mayor served a three-match ban after seeing red in the 3-1 defeat against Swindon last month and is available for selection.

Dom Telford is likely to keep his place after he scored both of Bury’s goals in their 2-0 win over Colchester on his return to the starting XI.

Bury sit second in the table, two points above MK Dons in fourth.
