Morecambe are ready to welcome Shrewsbury Town to Christie Park on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Shrimps have drawn one game and lost the other.
The previous match played between the two at Christie Park was more than three years back, in April 2004, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Conference match.
