The Spireites are in the last play-off spot and have three more points than eighth-placed Dagenham and Redbridge.

A win or a draw will be enough for Town to clinch a top seven finish.

But a defeat and a win for Dagenham against title challengers Wrexham would mean the Blues would miss out on goal difference.

Chesterfield v Woking: LIVE UPDATES

Key Events

  • FT: Chesterfield 0 v 0 Woking (3pm KO)
  • Spireites qualify for play-offs and will travel to Halifax in elimination round
  • Loach; King, Williams, Grimes, Whittle; Weston, Kellermann; Khan; Mandeville; Denton, Rowe. Subs: Maguire, McCourt, Miller, Whelan, Tyson.
  • IN: Khan, Kellermann, Rowe, Denton. OUT: Gunning, Oyeleke, Quigley, Asante.

Are a very, very big side. They have got some giants in their team.

Rowe has Chesterfield’s first shot, a free-kick from distance, but he drags it well wide.

Is how Chesterfield have lined-up.

Weston and Kellermann sitting in midfield, Mandeville right, Khan left, Rowe just behind Denton.

12 gone, 0-0.

And it’s a big one as well...for Kabamba.

Kretzschmar wins the ball off Grimes in the far corner with a brilliant sliding tackle.

He whips the ball into the box and Kabamba attempts an overhead kick that goes behind for a corner. He went for the spectacular, when a more simple finish was required. Probably should have done better.

Chesterfield are in their normal home strip, while Woking are wearing green shirts, black shorts and white socks.

Stay tuned for all the big talking points.

Here come the teams!

Please, please let’s have a nice relaxing afternoon.

COYB!

Here we go then, folks.

Avoid defeat and Chesterfield will be in the play-offs.

Lose and they will need Wrexham to do them a favour at Dagenham and Redbridge.

The teams will be with us shortly.

How the visitors will line-up

IN: Khan, Kellermann, Rowe, Denton.

OUT: Gunning, Oyeleke, Quigley, Asante.

Looks like a back four. It could be 4-4-2, 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2. We shall see.

Danny Rowe starts.

Loach; King, Williams, Grimes, Whittle; Weston, Kellermann; Khan; Mandeville; Denton, Rowe. Subs: Maguire, McCourt, Miller, Whelan, Tyson.

Sounds like there is going to be a crowd close to 9,000 here today.

There will be Spireites fans behind both goals.

It should be a cracking atmosphere.

Liam’s predicted line-up

Loach; Williams, Gunning, Grimes; King, Weston, Khan, Whittle; Mandeville; Rowe, Denton.

Subs: Maguire, Miller, Kellermann, Whelan, Quigley.
