Morecambe prepare to entertain Burton Albion at Christie Park on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Shrimps have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was just last season, in August 2003, the Shrimps carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Conference match.
