Morecambe prepare to entertain Chester City at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Shrimps winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was just last season, in December 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-3 thriller, in a League Two match.
