Bury prepare to entertain Morecambe at Gigg Lane on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The The Shakers have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Gigg Lane was just last season, in August 2008, the The Shakers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Two match.
