TOWN'S TEAM vs. TRANMERE

Posted on: Tue 23 Feb 2010

Manager Lee Clark has named an unchanged starting eleven for the third successive game for tonight's League One game at Tranmere Rovers; kick-off 7.45pm at Prenton Park.

The big news on the Terriers' team-sheet is the inclusion of defender Lee Peltier (pictured) - the pacey Liverpudlian maintains his 100% appearance record in the League after recovering from the shin injury he sustained during the weekend win at Hartlepool.

Tonight is a big night for midfielder Antony Kay; having scored against his former employers at the Galpharm back in early December, he is making his first return to Prenton Park since leaving Tranmere for Huddersfield Town in the summer.

Town will line up in their usual 4-4-2 formation for the game, with goalkeeper Alex Smithies behind a back four of left-back Dean Heffernan; centre backs Peter Clarke and Neal Trotman along with right-back Peltier. Gary Roberts and Anthony Pilkington will take up the left and right wing positions respectively with central midfielders Kay and Danny Drinkwater between them, leaving Lee Novak to partner top scorer Jordan Rhodes in attack.
