Chesterfield prepare for a key League Two home fixture against Tranmere Rovers this Saturday. The match at Proact Stadium offers a chance to respond after a 2-1 loss at Cheltenham last time out, a game in which they conceded the decisive goal in the 87th minute.

Sitting 11th in the table with 11 points from eight games, Chesterfield's form has been mixed. They had won three of four before the Cheltenham setback, including a 2-0 victory over York and a 5-3 win against Manchester City's under-21s in the EFL Trophy. Striker L. Bonis leads the team's scoring charts with 13 goals this campaign. The team's average of 47 goal minutes per match highlights their attacking intent.

Tranmere arrive in 10th place, having drawn 1-1 with Walsall in their last outing. Their recent results show similar inconsistency, with a win, two draws and a loss in their last four league games. The last meeting between these sides saw Chesterfield secure a 2-1 home win.

Managerial team selections will be watched closely after the 4-2-3-1 setup used at Cheltenham, which featured Louie Marsh scoring the consolation goal. Following this match, Chesterfield's next fixture is an away trip to face Gillingham on 10 October. The game kicks off at 11:30 UTC on 3 October.
