Preview

Kyle Dempsey's goal right before half-time proved to be the decisive one for Port Vale as they beat a struggling Grimsby Town side 1-0 on home soil. Jon Brady's men have now claimed back-to-back wins and clean sheets heading into Saturday's contest at Vale Park.

Chesterfield struggled to contain Gianmarco Di Biase last weekend as his brace earned Crawley Town a point against Paul Cook's side. The Spireites have lost just one of their last nine games in all competitions and occupy a play-off place heading into gameweek 11.
