Tranmere Rovers travel to Newport County tomorrow afternoon as the two teams go head-to-head in Sky Bet League Two.
Michael Flynn’s side sit third in the table having claimed ten points from their opening five fixtures, trailing behind only Cambridge United and Morecambe in the division standings.
The sides last met at Wembley Stadium in May 2019 as Rovers clinched promotion to League One courtesy of Connor Jennings’ late, stoppage-time header.
Team news
Manager Mike Jackson confirmed that Tranmere remain ‘thin on the ground’ ahead of this weekend’s contest, due to a combination of players isolating and being unavailable for selection due to injury.
New loan signing Jack Young could make his first league start at Rodney Parade.

One to watch
Forward, Tristan Abrahams.
The 21-year-old has struck six times in all competitions so far this campaign, breaching the defences of Newcastle United, Bolton Wanderers, Watford and Swansea City.
Likely to be partnering Abrahams in attack is the equally-dangerous Padraig Amond, who has plundered 36 league goals across the past three campaigns for Newport.
