TRANMERE: Caretaker boss Les Parry has a worry over the availability of midfielder Paul McLaren, who suffered a hip injury last week, while striker Michael Ricketts hasn't trained all week because of a virus. Chris Shuker, a former Pools loanee, is a doubt after the winger hobbled out of training following a clash of knees with Shaleum Logan. Goalkeeper Luke Daniels returns from a one-match suspension and will compete with David Martin, signed on loan from Liverpool.

It's a fact: Pools need two goals today to rack up a century of home league goals against Rovers
