After two consecutive defeats, Gareth Ainsworth will be looking for a response from his Wycombe Wanderers players when they play Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday in League One with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Meanwhile, The Shrews are five games without a win as they slip to the bottom of the League table.
After reaching the top of League One on January 21, Wycombe finds itself in the sixth position. Two consecutive defeats have forced Wycombe to turn their attention from a potential promotion challenge and focus on securing a playoff place.
Cambridge United hopes that the 10-day break between matches will help them rediscover the form that saw them suffer just one defeat in 10 League Two games before their loss to MK Dons on January 22.
Although the U’s have lost their last two outings, hosts Wycombe are still hopeful of a positive result on Tuesday, especially as they have lost only three times at home in the league this term.
Meanwhile, Shrewsbury Town has recently had a run of draws rather than losses, with four of their last five league games ending in a tie. Three of those ties have come in their last three League One matches, and the results have left Steve Cotterill’s side four points above the relegation zone.

Wycombe Wanderers Team News
As there was no Wycombe game over the weekend, Chairboys players will be well-rested for the midweek match. On transfer deadline day, Lewis Wing and Jack Young joined the club on loan, and Wing is expected to make his debut, while Young may have to settle for a place on the bench.
Shrewsbury Town Team News
Unused substitutes Matthew Bondswell and Tom Flanagan may have to wait longer for their debuts. The Shrews could name an unchanged lineup for the Wycombe clash.
