  2. 'No games are easy' in League Two

    It’s really early in the season and Chesterfield are side-by-side with Tranmere, who are 10th.

    I would expect the Spireites to be around the play-offs come Christmas time.

    But there are no mugs at this level, no games are easy and anyone can beat anyone. You've got to earn the right to go and beat teams.

  3. 'We've got to keep working away'

    Darrell Clarke's Tranmere have just drawn too many games in the early stages of the season.

    Rovers have only been beaten once but a tally of six draws from their opening 10 games in all competitions tells its own tale.

    "A lot of performances so far this season have been really good," Clarke said.

    "We've got to keep working away and picking on things and working on things that we need to. But the team's in a good place, the spirit around the camp is really good and we just want to keep building on promising performances, because if you get the performance right, nine times out of 10 the result comes with it."

  4. Cooking up a storm again?

    After missing out in the play-offs last season, it was somewhat of a slow start for Paul Cook's Chesterfield this time around.

    But a good run of results, only ended at Cheltenham last week, has put them back into shouting distance of the top seven again.

    With five goals in six games in all competitions, on-loan Sheffield United man Louie Marsh is the one to watch.

  5. Team news: Both sides unchanged

    Chesterfield are unchanged from the team which was beaten by high-flying Cheltenham last time out. Louie Marsh is the man to watch behind striker Lee Bonis.

    Starting XI: Boot; Hutton, McFadzean, Simpson, Gordon; McEachran, Stirk; Markanday, Marsh, Randall; Bonis.

    Tranmere are also unchanged. Former Blackpool, Liverpool and Derby winger Tom Ince is still doing the business at the age of 34. Will they return to winning ways on the road?

    Starting XI: Male; Senior, Faulkner, Smith, Slater; Vaulks, Conlon; Okoro, Ince, Whitaker; Ironside.

  6. Chesterfield v Tranmere (12:30 BST)

    Today's early kick-off is the League Two fixture between Chesterfield and Tranmere Rovers, which gets under way in about 15 minutes.

  7. Top spot up for grabs in fourth tier

    With current leaders Barnet not in action, a host of other sides - including Cheltenham Town and Bristol Rovers have the chance to climb to the summit of League Two today.

  8. Managerless Bantams lead the way

    Manager Graham Alexander may have moved on to Preston earlier this week, but Bradford City will extend their lead at the top of League One this afternoon if they win at Reading.

    A slip-up from the Bantams could mean one of Plymouth Argyle, Huddersfield Town or Burton Albion end the day at the top.

  9. It's a reduced schedule in League One and League Two this weekend, with several matches postponed because of international call-ups.

    No Championship fixtures have been scheduled for the extended international break and the second tier will resume on Friday, when West Ham United host Queens Park Rangers.

    League One & League Two

    Like being at school when the older children are away on a trip, League One and League Two have got the playground to themselves today.

    Even then, some of them are off because of international calls.

    That does not mean we do not have some tasty treats on offer.

    So, settle down and come on in with places at the top and bottom at stake.
