ROVERS HOPE TO MAKE PRENTON FACTOR COUNT AGAINST LEAGUE HIGH-FLIERS MK DONS THIS AFTERNOON

- By OWEN LINNETT Tranmere Correspondent

AM Finley has called upon his Tranmere Rovers teammates to rise to the occasion when they face League Two high-fliers MK Dons this afternoon.

The Dons currently sit in third place and boast the division’s best record away from home, losing only one of their eight matches on the road this season.

However, Finley believes Rovers can lift their game to compete with Paul Warne’s side.

He said: “Personally, when you are playing a team who are up there and you are trying to challenge to get there, I always feel like I rise to the occasion and hopefully we do on Saturday.

”T am looking forward to the game tomorrow. I think these are the games we tend to perform in - when not much is expected from us.”

Tranmere will arrive at Prenton Park in a good vein of form, following home victories against Blackpool in the Vertu Trophy and Cheltenham in the league.

They will be looking to make it three wins in a row for the first time as Rovers boss Andy Crosby believes recent results have set his side up well for this weekend.
