After three home games in the space of eight days last week for Rovers, it's back to the road again as two difficult away ties lie in wait with Huddersfield first up at the Galpharm Stadium followed by a trip next Saturday to newly promoted Peterborough United.

Much fancied at the start of the season to at least be promoted from League One if not win it, the Terriers finally notched their first win of the new season just last Saturday when they beat relegation favourites Cheltenham Town 2-1 at Whaddon Road.

Prior to that victory, Town had recorded two draws and two defeats in their opening four League matches although they did beat near neighbours Bradford City 4-0 in the first round of the Carling Cup during the opening week of the season.

Boosted this season by having around 15,000 season ticket holders thanks to a special ticket offer to celebrate the Centenary of the Club, Boss Stan Ternent appears to have put together a decent side this season.

Rovers make the trip to Yorkshire on the back of a disappointing and perhaps undeserved 1-0 home defeat to Oldham Athletic last Saturday which was perhaps more disappointing following the 4-1 home demolition of Northampton Town the week before at Prenton Park.

Last season, Tranmere's trip to Huddersfield saw the mathematical end to their faint play-off hopes when Andy Booth scored a second half goal that won the game 1-0 for the home side.

Earlier in the season Rovers had won 3-0 at Prenton Park thanks to Paul McLaren, Shane Sherriff and Gareth Taylor.

Three points at the Galpharm would be Rovers' first away win of the season after defeats at Swindon and Leicester in the League and Grimsby Town in the Carling Cup first round.

Perhaps more of a concern is that Rovers haven't won a game away from home since the first week of February and that marvellous 2-0 win at Elland Road against Leeds United when Myrie-Williams and Moore were on target.

Hopefully a fair few Rovers fans will make the trip to Yorkshire to cheer on the Whites so if you are one of those people, get behind the lads and enjoy the game!

Tranmere Team News

Ronnie Moore faces doubts over both Godwin Antwi (ankle) and Gareth Edds (groin) but will be hoping that Ian Goodison will be fit after playing for Jamaica on Wednesday despite concerns over a thigh injury.

Been there four times and still not seen us win, maybe this will be fifth time lucky. He has to drop Shuker and Sonko for us to have any chance of winning.
