National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Port Vale or Tranmere Rovers that keep their silverware dream alive.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Carabao Cup match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Scunthorpe United, so at least Port are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
