Vale make the journey north to Morecambe on Saturday knowing that a victory will leap frog them over the Shrimps in the table, though life is never quite as simple as that.

Although they have only been in the Football League for a short while, Vale already know what a difficult side Saturday's opponents can be and Micky Adams is expecting a difficult game this weekend.

They have already beaten Vale this season, grabbing a 2-0 victory at ValePark in early December and have a decent home record, though Chesterfield and Accrington Stanley have both picked up maximum points there since Christmas.

Sammy Mcllroy's side picked up a very useful point in a 0-0 draw at Gigg Lane in the week, when they held high flyers Bury and Vale know they are in for a tough game.

In Phil Jevons, currently on loan from HuddersfieldTown, the Shrimps have a striker who will be a threat to any side in this division.

He has hit 16 goals on all competitions this season, including his side's first minute opener at ValePark back in December.

Paul Mullen got the other Shrimps goal in that match and will no doubt be a handful on Saturday, just as he was when with his previous club, Accrington Stanley.

Micky Adams is unlikely to make too many changes to his squad after the midweek win over Lincoln City, though Tommy Fraser will miss out as he serves the first of a two-match suspension after picking up his tenth yellow card the other night.

It is highly likey that his replacement will be in the shape of Anthony Griffith, who will return to the squad after he served a two-match ban himself.

Unless the two team end up in the play-offs this season, this will be Vale's last match at Christie Park, as Morecambe will be moving to a new ground after 89 years at their present home.
