Spireites injury news
The Spireites will still be without Akwasi Asante, Danny Rowe and Manny Oyeleke.
The good news is Asante’s groin injury is not as bad as first feared and he is set to return to training next week.
Rowe is doing some individual fitness work, but Oyeleke is not ready and is unlikely to feature any time soon.
But Bailey Clements is available again and will travel with the squad.
Liam’s predicted line-up
I’ll go for the one change with Clements replacing Horton.
King is back from suspension so should be involved.
4-2-3-1: Fitzsimons; Sheckleford, Palmer, Grimes, Clements; Jones, Banks; Mandeville, Akinola, Dobra; McCallum.
Subs: Maguire, King, Oldaker, Colclough, Quigley.
Minute’s silence
There will be a minute of silence ahead of the game for former National League chairman and president, Brian Lee, who passed away earlier this week. Black armbands will also be worn by the players as a mark of respect.
Danny Webb on facing Solihull
“Solihull are a good team, there’s no doubt about that,” he said.
“You don’t know what you’re going to get from them, to be honest.
“He [Neal Ardley] keeps you guessing that’s for sure and likes to play in many different ways.
“It’s all about what we can do though and we focus on ourselves and where we can hurt them.
“It should be a great game and we’re looking for the three points.”
Chesterfield team news confirmed
Paul Cook names an unchanged side from the midweek draw at Aldershot Town but Jeff King returned from his one-match suspension to replace Laurence Maguire on the bench.
(4-2-3-1) Fitzsimons; Sheckleford, Palmer, Grimes, Horton; Jones, Banks; Mandeville, Akinola, Dobra; McCallum.
