Looking to record consecutive wins for the second time in 2019, the Glovers will be boosted by the return of several key players.
Second top goal scorer Tom James is eligible after serving a four-match suspension, whilst fellow defenders Josh Grant and Omar Sowunmi could both return from ankle injuries.
Middlesbrough loanee Alex Pattison sat out the win over the U’s but is likely to have recovered from a back injury, to only leave question marks over Craig Alcock (knee), Gary Warren (hamstring), Sessi D’Almeida (shoulder) and Gabby Rogers (calf).
The Shrimps will make the trip south unable to call upon former Glover AJ Leitch-Smith who’s set to miss the remainder of the campaign with a hamstring injury, leaving veteran striker Kevin Ellison to lead the line.
Manager Jim Bentley is the longest serving manager in the top four tiers of English football having been in charge since May 2011.
