Matchday Preview

VsChelsea U21 (Papa John's)

November 30th 2021Noah Dougherty

Papa John's Trophy action returns this evening as Chelsea U21s visit The Fully Charged New Lawn.

Rovers have only progressed beyond the round of 32 once, so tonight provides an opportunity to equal that record.

Here are the matchday details:

What we said:

"As you would expect, Chelsea U21s are full of top players and top young talent," said Rob Edwards.

"We've got what we think is a decent idea of what could come at us, but if they drop in Romelu Lukaku and N'Golo Kante then plans might change a little bit.

"We've looked at their footage in the competition so we have a plan but plans can change - then we have to adapt."

Team news:

Tranmere-home-Sep-21-Godwin-Malife

Kane Wilson is on the road to recovery after sustaining an ankle injury against Barrow last week.

Rovers have no other injury concerns and Udoka Godwin-Malife's suspension does not count for tonight's game, meaning he is available for selection.
