Cambridge United vs Cheltenham Town - Mark Cooper could stick with same Cheltenham XI

Forest Green manager Mark Cooper could retain the same team which won at Cheltenham last week for the clash with bottom club Chesterfield.

Victory for Rovers will all-but secure League Two football next season and Cooper is likely to stick with the same starting line-up which edged past their local rivals at Whaddon Road last Saturday.

Chris Clements, Reece Brown and Scott Laird came in and impressed as Welsh striker Christian Doidge, who recently returned from an ankle knock, scored the only goal of the match.

Cooper has no other injury concerns with centre-back Farrend Rawson showing no ill effects since returning from a hip injury in the last two games.

Central defender Ian Evatt could make just his second appearance of 2018 as Chesterfield search for a much-needed three points to boost their survival hopes.

Evatt had been sidelined with a knee injury for four months but returned to the starting line-up to play 90 minutes during last week’s 1-0 loss to Mansfield, before sitting out Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat at Exeter.

The Spireites sit seven points from safety and could suffer back-to-back relegations if they lose at Rovers and 22nd-placed Grimsby win at Swindon on Saturday.

Drew Talbot could start if boss Jack Lester changes from the 3-5-2 formation he experimented with against the Grecians, but Sam Hird, Giles Coke, Gozie Ugwu and Dylan Mottley-Henry remain on the sidelines with long-term injuries.
