KICK-OFF: Swindon get us underway and will be attacking towards The Alan McLoughlin Town End.

0-0

The players are out and we are about to get things started. Stick with us throughout the 90 minutes as we bring you full coverage from this game.

So we are just five minutes away from kick-off here inside the County Ground and are almost ready to go. I think Swindon will have the bit between their teeth after losing to Carlisle and will take all 3 points for the first time time at home this season.

Ryan's Prediction: 2-1 Swindon

Just one point separates the two teams win the League standings with Swindon on 3 points following their win away to Scunthorpe before losing at home to Carlisle at the weekend. Tranmere are unbeaten this season having won at home to Walsall before drawing away to Port Vale.

Swindon fans will be delighted to see Akin Odimayo making his first league start of the season after the 21-year-old made a U-turn on his future at Swindon Town to sign a new 1-year deal. Fresh from signing his first professional deal, academy product Harry Parsons will be hoping to impress on his first full league debut with the youngster expected to play in behind striker Tyreece Simpson.

So we are just 30 minutes away from kick-off inside the County Ground and the seats are filling up nicely as the players continue to warm up right in front of the two dugouts. Swindon Town will be hoping to earn their first home win of the season against a Tranmere Rovers side who haven't won at SN1 since 2006.

Micky Mellon's Merseyside outfit are yet to lose and yet to concede this season however they have struggled in front of goal scoring just once this season.

Micky Mellon makes two changes to his side that drew 0-0 away to Port Vale at the weekend as Paul Glatzel and Sam Foley both drop to the bench.
