New signings Jack Roles and Jamal Hector-Ingram will be hoping to make the match day squad.

Danger men

Former Premier League strikers David Nugent and James Vaughan head Tranmere's attack and Boro's defence will have to be alert to their threat.

The inform Vaughan has hit 17 goals in all competitions with Kane Woolery converting five and Peter Clarke netting four.

Alex Revell previews the clash

"We knew we had to bounce back from the loss, now we have to go to two tough places away.

"If we play like we did second half (against Morecambe) then we'll give both teams a real good game and hopefully positive outcomes.

"All we can do is concentrate on performances and if you play like that second half then more often that not you're going to win games."
