Gillingham v Tranmere Rovers

STEVE LOMAS and Ian Cox return to the Gillingham side for this afternoon's visit of Tranmere to Priestfield.

The pair missed the midweek Carling Cup defeat at Watford through suspension after being sent off on the opening day at Cheltenham.

Cox will partner Simon King in the heart of the defence in the absence of Efe Sodje, who is banned after his cup dismissal.

Lomas replaces youngster Craig Stone in the centre of midfield.

Delroy Facey is back up front alongside David Graham. Gary Mulligan misses out through injury.

Former Gill Ben Chorley has been named in the Rovers starting line-up.

Gillingham: Royce, Southall, Cox, King, Armstrong, Bentley, Lomas, Crofts, Brown, Facey, Graham.
Subs: Stillie, Clohessy, Cogan, Pugh, Stone.
