Jonathan Obika remains the only absentee for a Morecambe side that could be unchanged from their midweek success at Crewe. After watching his side lose heavily to Lancashire rivals Wigan last weekend, John Coleman could shuffle his Accrington back here.
Accrington have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 3 matches against Morecambe in all competitions. Accrington have won their last 3 matches against Morecambe in all competitions.
Both of these sides have lost half of their League One matches this season, but are sitting 11th and 16th respectively and are within touching distance of the playoffs. Despite their league positions, Morecambe are in better form and beat Crewe in midweek to move five points clear of the relegation zone. That was the Shrimps' first league victory since their promotion and another here would feel extra sweet given Accrington Stanley are one of their Lancashire neighbours. Stanley have already suffered a humiliation to another of their rivals in the shape of Wigan last weekend and will be desperate to avoid suffering a third defeat on the bounce here. 0:1
