Ryan Boot is set to start in goal for Chesterfield in their EFL Trophy group game against Port Vale. The change is forced by Zach Hemming's wrist injury and James Sissons' international duty with Malta.
Chesterfield sit 8th in League Two on 11 points after seven games. They are unbeaten in their last five matches, a run that includes a 5-3 win over Manchester City's Under-21s in their Trophy group opener. The Spireites drew 1-1 with Port Vale in the league just days ago.
A win in the Trophy carries three points, with a draw after 90 minutes earning one point and a penalty shoot-out deciding a second bonus point. The top two sides from each group progress to the knockout stages. Chesterfield's final group game is away to Mansfield Town on Tuesday, November 10.
Manager Paul Cook will be forced into at least one change for the 7pm kick-off at Vale Park. Supporters can check the full squad list and the club's upcoming fixtures for more details. The team then travels to face 5th-placed Cheltenham in the league on Saturday.
