Chesterfield prepare to entertain Darlington at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spireites are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 6 of the 38 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in April 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
