Spireites set to stick rather than twist as Mansfield come to town

Basement club Chesterfield could keep faith with the same side who earned a point at Morecambe on Tuesday evening.

The Spireites, who host Mansfield, are facing the prospect of back-to-back relegations as they sit five points from safety -they do, however, have the luxury of a game in hand on 22nd-placed Forest Green.

Centre-back Ian Evatt is a doubt following a knee injury after he travelled to the Globe Arena in midweek, although he failed to make the matchday squad as he was deemed not fit enough.

Sam Hird, Giles Coke, Gozie Ugwu and Dylan Mottley-Henry are long-term absentees for boss Jack Lester.

Mansfield will hope to get their play-off ambitions back on track with victory over their local rivals.

The Stags have failed to win any of their last nine matches, picking up just five points in the process, but they still remain one point adrift of seventh-placed Coventry.

Defender David Mirfin is absent as he recovers from knee surgery while on-loan striker Ricky Miller will also miss out with a hamstring problem.

Full-back Mal Benning is available following a three-match suspension as David Flitcroft searches for his maiden win as Mansfield boss at the ninth attempt.
