Chesterfield prepare to entertain Scunthorpe United at Recreation Ground on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spireites are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 4 of the 22 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with Scunthorpe U. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Spireites in a League One match.
