Friday results:

Division One

TRANMERE ROV     2-1 BRISTOL ROV   5458
Muir 63              Stewart 3
Garnett 90

Tranmere staged a grandstand finish as Shaun Garnett blazed home a 90th minute
winner at Prenton Park.  Bristol Rovers were far the better side
for over an hour and Marcus Stewart had given them a worthy lead after just
three minutes.  Tranmere goalkeeper Eric Nixon had to
pull off a number of five saves from Paul Hardyman and Tony Punder and then
John Taylor hit a post.  But Ian Muir levelled for Tranmere
after 63 minutes with a fine header.

Division Two

Jenkinson missed pen

Peter Shilton was sent off as his Plymouth side crashed 2-0 at Hull.
The former England goalkeeper was ordered off the pitch after a 26th
minute professional foul.  Hull were awarded a penalty for the
offence but stand-in keeper Nicky Marker saved Leigh Jenkinson's spot
kick and only late goals by David Hockaday and Gary Lund saved the home
side's blushes.

has ankle ligament problems.  Striker Mark Bright has recovered from
concussion but defender Richard Shaw is ruled out with a fractured cheekbone
and Lee Sinnott deputises.  Mark Robins and Mark Bowen face late
fitness test for the Canaries and Ruel Fox is definitely ruled out of the side

but is expected to be fit.  Andy Hill is back in training after a
calf injury but Ian Brightwell, who moved to right back to accomodate #2.5m
Terry Phelan, retains his place.  The Latics will be without midfielder

Brian Clough has handed trialist Gary Bannister the job of replacing Teddy
Sheringham for the visit of United.  The 32-year-old striker, who scored
twice in Forest's 5-3 defeat at Oldham, takes over from Sheringham who moved
to Tottenham on Friday for #2.1m.  New signing Dion Dublin keeps his place
in the United side after scoring a last minute winner at Southampton on Monday.

named as substitutes as Alex Ferguson names an unchanged team.

Regis hopes to be fit and could replace the out-of-form Tony Daley.

and first point in the league.  Millwall manager Mick McCarthy keeps
his team plans close to his chest as he returns to the club where he started
his career.

Brentford, still looking for their first points, have injury doubts over
left back Chris Hughton and midfielder Bob Booker.
The Bees include Paul Buckle and Billy Manuel in their squad for the game at
Griffin Park.  Southend are delaying the naming of
their side as they await a late fitness test on midfielder Steve Tilson who has
an injured ankle.  Paul Smith has been called up to the
squad as the Shrimpers hope to improve on their disappointing start.

Bristol City boss Denis Smith keeps faith with the same side that won 3-0
at Luton last week for the visit of his former club to Ashton Gate.

place of injured youngster Anthony Smith, who suffered a cheekbone injury
in the midweek Cup tie at Huddersfield.  Another defender Martin Gray is also
drafted into a 13-man squad.  Tim Carter continues in goal in place
of the injured first choice keeper Tony Norman.

CHARLTON ATHLETIC v LUTON TOWN
Charlton will be looking to celebrate their announcement of a return to The
Valley later this year by making it five wins out of five against Luton.
But The Valiants will be without full back Darren Pitcher, who starts a three
match ban.  Struggling Luton visit top-of-the-table
Charlton with manager David Pleat threatening to shake up his pack.
The Hatters could be without midfielder Chris Kamara who requires a late test
on a back strain. Teenage defender David Greene is brought into the squad.

LEICESTER v PORTSMOUTH
Leicester wait for a check on captain Steve Walsh before manager Brian Little
names his side for the game with Pompey. Walsh, who starts a three-match ban
after this game, has a stomach upset and has not trained since Wednesday's
3-2 home win over Derby County.  Pompey striker Paul Walsh is expected
to recover from an ankle injury to lead the attack at Filbert Street.
Walsh, signed from Tottenham in the summer, was unable to train until
Friday but manager Jim Smith hopes he will be fit to partner Guy Whittingham.

The Magpies face an injury crisis for the visit of West Ham to St James' Park
Skipper Brian Kilcline (hip), Kevin Sheedy (neck), Paul Bracewell (toe),
John Beresford (calf) and David Kelly (arm) are all doubtful and will face
late fitness tests.  Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan names a
massive squad of 20 for the clash.  New signing Matthew Holmes is included
in West Ham's squad along with Martin Allen, who signed a new contract last
week, and Julian Dicks, who has been the subject of transfer speculation.

his place in the Oxford side that beat Swansea in the Coca-Cola Cup in midweek

match ban but is left out of the visitors' squad after injuring a heel.

County striker Tony Agana, who was fined and transfer-listed following a
disagreement with manager Neil Warnock, is not named in the squad.
His place is expected to go to Northern Ireland international Kevin Wilson.


SWINDON TOWN v CAMBRIDGE UTD
Swindon midfielder Micky Hazard will have a fitness test on a strained back
before Glen Hoddle announces his team to face Cambridge.
United are set to make three or four changes at Swindon as they bid to move
off the bottom of the table.  Manager John Beck used a reserve match
against Brentford to experiment with his team and is likely to stick closely
to the line-up which won that game 4-3.  Michael Cheetham may move to a central
striking role with Chris Leadbitter in midfield and Gary Rowett on the wing.

WATFORD v DERBY COUNTY
Watford, currently lying in fifth place are expected to name the same team that
triumphed 2-1 over  Notts County at Meadow Lane on Tuesday.
