Shrimps hoping to pile pressure on Hatters
Morecambe can put another nail in Luton's coffin when they host the Hatters this weekend.
The Shrimps will still harbour ambitions of mounting a late play-off push and will be looking to stretch a 12-match unbeaten run on Saturday.
Luton, meanwhile, appear doomed, with only eight games left for them to overhaul the 11-point gap which separates them from safety.
Morecambe team news
Jim Bentley is the only doubt for Morecambe as they welcome rock-bottom Luton to Christie Park.
The defender, who has been struggling with a knock in recent weeks, required a pain-killing injection to play in the 0-0 draw at Shrewsbury last week and his fitness has been monitored during the week.
McIlroy is thought to be prepared to risk Bentley, but Henry McStay is on stand-by to come into defence alongside David Artell should Bentley not make it.
Striker Rene Howe showed no ill-effects on his return from a hamstring injury at the Prostar Stadium and will continue in attack with Michael Twiss.
The Shrimps have no other suspension or injury concerns.
Luton team news
Luton boss Mick Harford is set to hand midfielder David Livermore his debut.
Livermore has joined the Hatters on a one-month loan from League One side Brighton and is set to go straight into the starting line-up.
Livermore's arrival at Kenilworth Road is set to soften the blow of the loss of Kevin Nicholls, who will begin a five-match suspension after the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final.
Defender Ed Asafu-Adjaye has missed the last two games after picking up a knock but could come back into contention after featuring for the reserves against Colchester in midweek.
Striker Kevin Gallen may also feature after missing the win over Macclesfield due to family reasons.
