First game without Simpson for hosts, Shrimps wait on Drummond
Morecambe will look to move into the play-offs and heap more misery on managerless Shrewsbury.
Only goal difference separates the Shrimps from the top seven after an impressive 1-0 win at home to fellow play-off chasers Dagenham last time out.
Meanwhile, Shrewsbury will go into the clash without a manager after they sacked Paul Simpson on Friday.
The decision surprised many with the Shrews still maintaining a slim chance of making the play-offs themselves.
Shrews news
With the club looking towards the future, three loanees, goalkeeper David Button, defender Joe Skarz and striker Jamie Cureton could miss out to give players closer to home such as Chris Neal and Harry Hooman a chance.
Midfielder Craig Disley (broken ankle), captain Graham Coughlan (thigh) and striker Jake Robinson (ligament damage) are back in training but will probably not figure again this term.
Striker Nathan Elder (knee) also remains sidelined.
Shrimps news
Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy is sweating on the fitness of midfielder Stewart Drummond.
The former Shrews skipper underwent an operation on Monday night after fracturing and dislocating his thumb in the win over Dagenham.
McIlroy is hoping to be able to welcome back top scorer Phil Jevons and defender Laurence Wilson who missed the win against the Daggers.
Mark Duffy should also be fit after being forced to leave the field with a dead leg last weekend.
