Shrimps skipper Jim Bentley says his side are looking forward to the visit of Notts County to Christie Park on Saturday.

Looking ahead to the game against County he said: "Although we are at home we are probably the underdogs but that will suit us.

"There is no pressure on us as everyone will be looking at Notts County to win every game they play. They are obviously throwing the money around at the moment and snapping up a lot of good players as they look to get promotion this year.

"But we have done well against the top sides in the past, especially at home and we want that record to continue. I have no doubt that we have the players who can cause them problems and at the back we were all really pleased with the way we kept our first clean sheet of the season at Rotherham last week. It was long overdue and we all accept that but we looked very solid against a team who were top of the league at the start of the day. 

"We all know it will be tough but I am hoping it is a great occasion and with all the talk of Sven and Sol Campbell being there we should have a great crowd. The lads love big crowds at Christie Park because the atmosphere is superb when people get right behind us.''

Bentley came close to scoring his first goal of the season at the Don Valley Stadium when his close range effort was well saved by Andy Warrington.

Said Jim: "The ball just seemed to bobble at the wrong moment and I couldn't get the touch I needed on it to get it past their keeper although he did well to spread himself as well.''
