Morecambe prepare to entertain Grimsby Town at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Shrimps winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was just last season, in November 2008, the Shrimps carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.
