Spireites squad news
It sounds like Town are going to play a load of youngsters from the academy today.
This competition is obviously not a priority, promotion is, so no sleep will be lost if they are defeated today.
It makes even more sense given that they have another important league game at home to Altrincham on Tuesday night.
Welling
Are third from bottom of the National League South and are eight points from safety. They have won just four out of 26 league games this season.
They have won just one of their last eight in all competitions, which was on penalties against Brackley Town in the third round of the trophy.
Welcome back!
It's FA Trophy action for Chesterfield today as they head to National League South side Welling United in the FA Trophy fourth round.
