- 2.58pm: The two sets of players make their way onto the field – The Gulls will be playing in white this afternoon.
- 2.50pm: Gary Johnson’s men have put to bed a number of long-standing club hoodoos recently – including ending a nine-game winless run against Eastleigh on Saturday – however, if they are to buck the trend again today, they will have to do something no other United side has done before, in winning a league fixture at the home of Chesterfield. We did gain some FA Cup success in Derbyshire ten years ago though, as goals from Danny Stevens, Rene Howe and Kevin Nicholson earned Martin Ling’s men a 3-1 win, after Jordan Bowery briefly levelled for the hosts.
- 2.15pm: THE TEAMS ARE IN…
The Gaffer made just the one change to the side that triumphed 3-1 over Eastleigh on Saturday, with Benji Kimpioka recalled to the starting line-up in place of loan striker Scott Boden, with United facing his parent club.
