Recap: Chesterfield score twice in four minutes to complete late comeback against Dover Athletic
The fifth-placed Spireites go in search of a much-needed win to help cement their place in the play-off places.

Here come the teams!
Chesterfield are in their normal home strip, Dover are wearing all red.
The pitch looks much better today.
Almost time
Good afternoon everyone from a sunny Technique Stadium.
It’s a must-win game for the Spireites, but they are all at this stage aren’t they?
It looks like Paul Cook has tweaked the formation to 3-4-2-1 with Khan and Mandeville as the two 10s behind Asante so it will be interesting to see how that pans out.
Dover are already relegated and have only won two of their 38 games this season.
Stay tuned for all the big talking points from the game.
Manny Oyeleke
Today is his first start in more than two months since Paul Cook’s first match in charge away at Weymouth in February.
Chesterfield team news confirmed - three changes
Three changes for Chesterfield as Laurence Maguire, Manny Oyeleke and Saidou Khan replace Gavin Gunning, Jim Kellermann and Tom Denton.
(3-4-2-1) Loach; Williams, Grimes, Maguire; King, Weston, Oyeleke, Whittle; Khan, Mandeville; Asante.
Subs: Miller, Kellermann, McCourt, Whelan, Denton.
Liam’s predicted line-up
Tom Denton was on pre-match press conference duties yesterday so we don’t know if Town have any fresh injury worries for this one.
I’m going to predict a start for Manny Oyeleke in place of Curtis Weston and Calvin Miller to replace Gavin Gunning, who came off last week with a calf problem.
Loach; Williams, Grimes, Whittle; King, Oyeleke, Kellermann, Miller; Mandeville; Asante, Denton. Subs: Maguire, Weston, Whelan, Khan, Quigley.
