Chesterfield play host to Milton Keynes Dons FC at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Spireites have won one and drawn one.
The last time the two teams met at Chesterfield was amazingly over twenty years ago, in November 1981, with Chesterfield running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Third Division match.
