Notts. County face a trip to Morecambe at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Magpies.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2009, the Shrimps carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Two match.
