Preview

Port Vale will hope that their dominant 5-0 home win against Manchester City's U21s in the EFL Trophy will provide the spark needed to rediscover their league form. The Valiants have picked up just one point from their last two League Two outings.

An injury-hit Rochdale side suffered a humbling 5-0 home defeat to an in-form Accrington Stanley side in gameweek 13. After an exciting run of form, the newly promoted side have now failed to win any of their last five games in all competitions.
