Game #3448 | League Cup game #129
Season game #10 | Worthington Cup game #2
Highfield Road game # | Gordon Strachan game #132

Chris Kirkland and Carlton Palmer's debuts.

City look capable of pulling back the deficit but in the end it’s too big a job and they fall at the first hurdle for the first time since 1992. 13 attempts on goal and 10 corners are not enough but Chippo’s 25-yarder deserves to win any game. Strange decisions from the ref don’t help.

City 17th in the Premier League | Tranmere Rovers 24th in Division One
