Mat Sadler’s side held an eight point lead at the top of League Two heading into the final weekend of January and looking very much like coasting their way to automatic promotion back in the third tier after six seasons in the fourth.

The West Midlands side head into their second leg with a two goal advantage but have won only one of their last nine matches at home, including none of the last six, of which they’ve lost four. Ironically their last home win came against Chesterfield back in February.

Chesterfield will have to go hard from the off and are in good form despite their defeat on Sunday against a Walsall side who have lost four of their last six at home – a nervy affair could be in store for the home side but they should get the job done, a 2-1 away win seeming a distinct possibility.
