David Horseman has made three changes to the side that drew 1-1 in the FA Cup first round at Scarborough Athletic last weekend, with Fankaty Dabo, Jordan Moore-Taylor and Troy Deeney returning to the starting XI for today's game at Tranmere Rovers.

On the three changes, David Horseman said: "We wanted to play those three players last Saturday, but it wasn't a risk we were willing to take. They're experienced players and they know their bodies, so we had to listen to them.

"They bring power, quality and experience - and we need as much as that as we can get at the moment."

Kyle McAllister's knock keeps him out of the squad, but Darnell Johnson has returned to the 18-man band at Prenton Park.
