Chesterfield will look to clinch both local bragging rights and top spot in their group when they make the short trip to Mansfield Town for Tuesday night's Jersey Mike’s Trophy match.
The Spireites are already guaranteed to progress from Group D of the northern section after picking up five points from their first two games.
Those were collected via a 5-3 triumph over Manchester City U21 and a 1-1 draw with Port Vale, with the latter then yielding a bonus point thanks to a 4-3 penalty shoot-out success.
If Paul Cook's side can now win this third and final game within 90 minutes and claim the maximum three points on offer, that progression will come as group winners and ensure a home tie against the runner-up from another northern section group in the round of 32.
