Chesterfield host York City in League Two on Saturday afternoon as the Spireites aim to record their first league victory at the SMH Group Stadium this season. Paul Cook's side currently sit mid-table in 12th position with eight points collected from their six league games so far.

Despite a mixed start to the 2026/27 campaign, the Derbyshire outfit will head into this match with confidence on the back of two successive wins in all competitions. Defeating the Minstermen will be a tough challenge though. The North Yorkshire side currently occupy third place in League Two with just one league defeat to their name so far. In their most recent League Two game, Scott Lindsey's team thrashed Swindon Town 4-0 at home.
