Match Preview: Accrington Stanley

5 November 2020

Tranmere Rovers kick start their Emirates FA Cup campaign this Saturday with a home tie against Accrington Stanley.

Accrington come into the game having not played since 20th October due to Covid-19. They currently place 14th in Sky Bet League One.

The last time the two sides met was just before lockdown in March. Rovers beat Accrington 2-1 at The Wham Stadium in League One as part of a three game winning streak away from home.

Team news 

Ian Dawes has reported a full bill of health within the squad with the exception of Stefan Payne who is out with a long term groin injury.

Referee: Graham Salisbury

Assistants: Billy Smallwood and Matthew Bristow

One to watch 

Forward, Dion Charles.

The 25 year old striker has begun the season in decent form, scoring three times in seven appearances for Stanley, including a brilliant volley against Peterborough United.

Charles has featured against Rovers on numerous occasions for Stanley and his previous club Southport. A straight red card against Oxford has hindered his form somewhat but Rovers will need to keep a keen eye on denying the pacey striker on Saturday afternoon.
