The Shrimps have a remarkable home record which has seen them unbeaten in all of their last 9.
In that time, they’ve beaten plenty of promotion contenders and hit 5 twice!
In comparison, they have lost their last 5 away games.
Those results see them sitting in 21st, one point behind MK in safety.
Team news
Oliver Norburn has traveled up north with the squad after playing 45 minutes in Tuesday’s Under 21 match.
There is another one on Monday, against Birmingham, that he is expected to feature in, but Ferguson will make a choice about whether to throw him into the squad today.
Ricky-Jade Jones is unlikely to feature after suffering a recurrence of the ankle injury he picked up at Wycombe earlier in the season in that match.
