Oldham boss Dave Penney says his Latics players face one of their most important games of the season at Tranmere Rovers.

The match at Prenton Park features two teams both looking to escape the bottom four in League One.

Penney said: "It's probably as big a game as we've played so far but the tougher games usually bring out the best from our players."

New boys Darryl Flahavan and Jason Price are both included in Penney's squad, as is latest addition Hasney Aljofree.
