BILLY Paynter makes his first start in more than a month for Town as they take on Tranmere Rovers this afternoon at Prenton Park.

The big striker is recalled to the line-up at the expense of Alex Revell, who drops down to the bench, as the only change from last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Norwich.

Swindon will be attempting to avoid suffering their third consecutive defeat and have named another attacking substitutes' bench, including front men Revell, Lee Peacock, Ben Hutchinson and Charlie Austin.

Ex-Town loanee Marlon Broomes lines up at the heart of Tranmere's defence, while they also welcome back former England international striker Michael Ricketts.

TRANMERE (4-3-3): David Martin; Shaleum Logan, Ian Goodison, Marlon Broomes, Zoumana Bakayogo; Gareth Edds, Paul McLaren, John Welsh; Ian Thomas-Moore (c), Michael Ricketts, Craig Curran

Subs: Luke Daniels, Aaron Cresswell, Ash Taylor, Ryan Fraughan, Alan Mahon, Chris Shuker, Terry Gornell

TOWN (4-5-1): David Lucas; Kevin Amankwaah, Scott Cuthbert, Gordon Greer (c), Lecsinel Jean-Francois; Temitope Obadeyi, Jon-Paul McGovern, Simon Ferry, Michael Timlin, Anthony McNamee; Billy Paynter
