Head to Head and Team News - Tranmere Rovers (h)

With 2007 behind them the Railwaymen will look to start 2008 with a bang!

It is now seven games without a win for the Alex and with them being 5 points off the relegation zone they will look for their first home win since mid November when that day they beat Northampton 2-0.

Tranmere on the other hand have not won away in the league since early October when that day they beat Southend 2-1.

Crewe Team News.

Crewe will have to make changes as fitness and injury takes its toll on the club. Byron Moore looks set for a spell on the sidelines with a suspected broken foot and is due for an x-ray when the swelling goes down.

Lee Barnard maybe rested after playing two full games back to back and was struggling towards the end of the Millwall game. Nicky Maynard is the likely option to replace Barnard while Ryan Lynch looks set for his league debut when he will replace George Abbey who like Barnard is just coming back from a long injury lay off.

Michael O'Connor is also a doubt with a heal injury so Elliott Bennett would come in for O'Connor while Ryan Lowe looks set to partner Nicky Maynard in attack.

Tranmere Rovers Team News.

Rovers manager Ronnie Moore has a virtually fit squad to pick from the only players to miss out is former Man City player Chris Shuker who picked up a knee injury in their 1-0 over Cheltenham Town and has been ruled out for the season just like Steve Davies.
So Ronnie Moore looks set to start with the same eleven who beat Cheltenham on Saturday.
