Chesterfield Preview

Chesterfield Predicted Line-up: Ryan Boot; Lewis Gordon, Tom Naylor, Jamie Grimes, Devan Tanton; Darren Oldaker, Ollie Banks; James Berry, Armando Dobra, Dilan Markanday; Will Grigg

Chesterfield have certainly impressed with their return to League Two this season. After 15 games, they’re 9th in the table and therefore just two points outside the playoffs with 22 points. They’ve scored more goals than anyone else in the league, and therefore possess the best goals per match in the fourth tier (1.9).

A big part of that has been veteran forward Will Grigg with seven league goals so far. The 33-year-old has also registered one assist.

So far in the trophy, they’ve beaten Manchester City’s under 21s 2-1 and been victorious against Lincoln City.

Grimsby Town Preview

Grimsby Town Predicted Line-up: Jordan Wright; Denver Hume, Cameron McJannet, Harvey Rodgers, Tyrell Warren; Evan Khouri, George McEachran; Luca Barrington, Kieran Green, Jason Daði Svanþórsson; Danny Rose

Grimsby Town have been sensational away from home recently. They’ve picked up 15 points from their last five matches on the road. Better still, they’ve only lost one of their last 10 games in all competitions.

In League Two it means they’re 7th after 15 games with 24 points and in a firm position to challenge for the play-offs this season.

In the Trophy, they’re yet to win a game and therefore sit bottom of the table with just one point. If they win this match, there’s a chance they could leap above Lincoln and Manchester City to sneak into the top two.
