Chesterfield prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spireites are clearly on top, having won 28 and lost only 7 of the 46 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in August 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Spireites have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Tranmere Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Rovers have conceded 7 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Chesterfield's total of 7 points from their 4 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One. Tranmere Rvs.'s 7 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
