Stockport v Cambridge United

Stockport will be hoping to bounce back from their demoralising defeat last time out when they host Cambridge United at Edgeley Park on Saturday afternoon.

The Hatters were taught a harsh footballing lesson against Blue Square Bet Premier rivals Alfreton Town on Tuesday, crashing to a 6-1 defeat at the Impact Arena, with their only goal coming deep into injury time.

That result left Jim Gannon's men 16th in the standings, although they still sit a comfortable seven points above the relegation zone.

The U's, meanwhile, have faired relatively better than Stockport over the duration of the campaign, although Jez George's men have hit a major stumbling block in recent weeks, losing all of their last four league matches.

In team news, the hosts will be looking to on-loan sensation Danny Rowe to continue his fine form, with the Fleetwood Town ace, who signed a one-month extension this week, currently on a run of six goals in his last eight appearances.

United, meanwhile, have been plagued by a spate injuries of late, leaving George admitting he may have to dig into the loan market, with Jack Eades the only winger fully fit.

However, Josh Coulson looks set to return after making his comeback in training this week following a groin operation, but midfielder Luke Allen is out with a broken foot.
