Steve Evans has named his Bristol Rovers side to take on Shrewsbury Town in Sky Bet League Two.

There are two changes for the Pirates, with Richie Smallwood and Bobby Kamwa coming in for Tommy Leigh and Ellis Harrison. Smallwood will captain the side in a three-man midfield alongside Clinton Mola and Keenan Gough.

Kamwa will line up out wide for the Gas, with Shaq Forde on the opposite flank as they will look to cause havoc for the Salop's defence. Fabrizio Cavegn will lead the line at the Croud Meadow, where he netted a hat-trick for Evans' men on their previous trip to Shrewsbury.
