Morecambe will look to return to winning ways this evening as Port Vale visit the Mazuma Stadium in League One.

The Shrimps lost their nine game unbeaten home run after a defeat to Peterborough United on Saturday, and sit 23rd in the table, two points from safety, with 15 games of the season remaining.

There’s full commentary of the game this evening on Shrimps Live, on our FM and DAB+ services, with the game kicking off at 7:45pm.

‘’We’d gone nine games unbeaten at home and wanted to start on the front foot,’’ said manager Derek Adams.

‘’They got an early goal and after that we’re always chasing the game. It became a difficult afternoon for us.

‘’We’re at home again, we need to get at them, and create openings. There is belief within the lads, and that has allowed us to get more points on the table.

‘’There are still a number of teams in the fight to stay above the line, and we’re one of them.

‘’We’ll look at how Boxing Day played out, and also the changes they have made in the January transfer window. We’ve made changes as well, but but we’re at home, and we want to excite our home supporters again.’’

Adams has confirmed he has a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of the match.
