Relegation-threatened Morecambe face the tricky task of promotion challengers Scunthorpe United in the National League on Saturday afternoon.
Despite losing their last two league games to high-flyers Rochdale and Carlisle United, the Shrimps showed some fight at the end of 2025. However, Ashvir Singh Joval's side are three points adrift of safety and need to find some consistency to climb out of the relegation zone.
As for Scunthorpe, they are eyeing top spot after a run of four successive league wins. The Iron occupy sixth position but are only behind league leaders York City by six points with a game in hand.
The meeting between the two clubs will be their first taste of National League action in 2026 and the first time they have met since 2021.
