Port Vale face a trip to Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Friday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Valiants will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 23 and win only 9 of the 40 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, the Rovers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.
