It forms part of a packed evening of football across the EFL, with Sky Sports+ showing live action from the Championship, League One, and League Two. This multi-game broadcast allows fans to follow several fixtures simultaneously. The specific channel details for the Chesterfield game are available through the Sky Sports app and digital platforms.
Chesterfield's campaign has been inconsistent so far. They opened with a loss, followed by a victory, before suffering another defeat last time out. This LWL form has yielded just the single win. Scoring has been a challenge, with only two goals netted in three outings. Defensively, they have conceded three. Improving this offensive output will be a priority for Cook and his staff as they look to climb the table. The full breakdown of team and player performance is available on our stats section.
Historically, meetings between these two sides have been closely contested. While specific historical results were not detailed in the Sky Sports report, both clubs have experienced similar recent trajectories, having competed in League Two for several seasons. Gillingham, like Chesterfield, will be aiming for a positive result to boost their own early-season ambitions. A win for the Spireites would provide a significant morale boost ahead of a busy period.
Team news will be confirmed closer to kick-off, but Cook will be assessing his squad after the first three games. The manager may consider changes to find a more consistent formula.

The next match after this evening's encounter is a trip to face Newport County on Saturday.
