Ryan Hardie starts: The predicted Plymouth Argyle XI to face ... (Football League World)

Plymouth Argyle will be aiming to get back to winning ways in League One when they welcome Shrewsbury Town to Home Park this evening.

The Shrews may sit back in a low block and allow Argyle possession and territory while keeping a rigid shape behind the ball, they do have threats in transition through the likes of Jordan Shipley and Christian Saydee, but that approach will allow Schumacher to field a very attacking line-up in pursuit of maximum points. Sam Cosgrove may return after missing out at the weekend due to a calf injury, but Schumacher does have a host of attacking options to choose from. Steven Schumacherโ€™s men still have a five-point cushion on third-placed Sheffield Wednesday, who were held to a 1-1 draw at Lincoln City at the weekend but will be desperate to get back on the winning trail when the Shrews arrive.

Plymouth Argyle stay top after come-from-behind victory over ... (Plymouth Live)

The Pilgrims continue to lead the way in League One after Niall Ennis and Morgan Whittaker scored in a 2-1 win.

Have your say in the comments section Argyle, buoyed by their equaliser, then took the lead in the 83rd minute when Whittaker applied the finishing touch to a terrific cross from the right by Galloway for his sixth goal of the season. Shrewsbury continued to make the game a stop-start affair and there was mounting frustration for the Pilgrims as they struggled to get even a sight of the opposition goal. However, the Pilgrims were finally able to get back on level terms in the 70th minute when Whittaker played the ball through for Ennis and he squeezed a shot past goalkeeper Marko Marosi for his seventh goal of the season. What were your thoughts on Argyle's win against Shrewsbury? Cosgrove was booked for a late tackle on Carl Winchester as the frustration for Argyle grew and grew, while Cooper had to flick the ball away inside his own six-yard area after he had saved a header from Street. Mumba was on the right of midfield, Whittaker on the left and the pair of Jordan Houghton and Adam Randell in the centre, while Cosgrove and Ennis were up front. There was also a change to a 4-4-2 formation, with Edwards at right-back and Butcher on the left with Wilson and Lonwijk in the central positions. It was a stop-start game of fouls and players receiving treatment and that suited Shrewsbury as it prevented the Pilgrims from finding any rhythm to their play. There was another setback for Argyle in added time as Azaz was hurt after being tackled and he limped off the pitch and then to the home dressing room, with Ennis sent on as his replacement. That was a warning of their threat at set pieces and, generally, there was a positive start to the match from the Shrews. That led to Morgan Whittaker putting them 2-1 up in the 83th minute when he got on the end of a cross from Brendan Galloway and scored from close range.
