FT: Oxford City 1 v 2 Chesterfield: LIVE UPDATES (7.45pm)

Oxford’s City ground has an artificial surface, which was installed in 2018.

The stadium itself was opened in 1993 and has a capacity of 2,000.

Chesterfield trained on Staveley Miners Welfare’s 3G pitch on Monday in preparation for this fixture.

Our Spireites predicted line-up

We’ll go for the one change with Palmer replacing the injured Williams.

(4-2-3-1) Tyrer; Sheckleford, Palmer, Grimes, Horton; Naylor, Banks; Mandeville, Dobra, Colclough; Grigg.

Subs: King, Oldaker, Jacobs, Berry, Quigley.

Spireites injury news

Defender Tyrone Williams is a doubt for this one after coming off at half-time on Saturday with a hamstring problem. Ash Palmer replaced him and will probably do so again if he is not ready.

The Hoops are playing at this level for the first-time ever after winning promotion through the National League South play-offs last season.

So far they have lost 5-2 at Aldershot Town and 1-0 at home to Rochdale.

Referee: Farai Hallam (Mainly been a referee in National League North/South but has been in charge of a handful of National League fixtures)

Assistant referee: Matt Eva

Assistant referee: Carl Peters

Fourth official: Luke Scott

Oxford City: 7/2

Draw: 21/10

Chesterfield: 8/13

(Sky Bet)

Chesterfield are back on the road this evening away at Oxford City.
