Walsall have really exceeded things, sitting third in the table, and they’ve looked good value for it.

Chesterfield Preview

Chesterfield Predicted Line-up - Ryan Boot; Lewis Gordon, Jamie Grimes, Chey Dunkley, Vontae Daley-Campbell; Michael Jacobs, Darren Oldaker, Tom Naylor; Ryan Colclough, Will Grigg, Liam Mandeville

Whilst Chesterfield have had an excellent start to the League Two campaign so far, they have had inconsistencies in their performances.

They’re off the back of a disappointing result away at Bromley, who are also newly promoted.

Will Grigg could be key if he can continue his goalscoring form.

Walsall Preview

Walsall Predicted Line-up - Tommy Simkin; Taylor Allen, Harry Williams, David Okagbue; Liam Gordon, Charlie Lakin, Ryan Stirk, Jamie Jellis, Connor Barrett; Nathan Lowe, Jamille Matt

Walsall are a hard side to explain. Whilst they lost 6-2 to Fleetwood last time out, the scoreline wasn’t really reflective of their performance.

Walsall have actually been really good so far this season which has earnt them third spot in the table.

Jamille Matt will be vital to any successes in this fixture, as will Albert Adomah’s experience coming off the bench.
