Chesterfield face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Spireites will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 4 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2008, the Bees carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Two match.
