Early team news: Tranmere v Barnsley

Last updated : 25 December 2004 By Mad Tyke

The Reds travel to third placed Tranmere with a full squad to choose from.

Only Stephen McPhail has missed a bit of training with a stomach problem.

Paul Hart is therefore likely to name an unchanged line-up.

Tranmere are without goalkeeper John Achterberg after he was ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury so Russell Howarth is in line to replace him.

Jason McAteer (hamstring) and Calvin Zola also miss out.
