Form Guide
The Spireites have won four games in a row and kept four clean sheets. The last time the Blues won five in a row was in the 2013/14 season.
King’s Lynn come into this game after two successive victories and have only lost once in their last six games at the Walks.
Team News
Haydn Hollis will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his Achilles in the first half against Eastleigh last Friday.
James Rowe revealed that two of Jak McCourt, Laurence Maguire and Gavin Gunning will be fit for this weekend. However, he didn’t reveal which two players will be back.
From the dugout:
James Rowe: “Let’s focus on these next games. First and foremost, we’ve got to overcome a stubborn King’s Lynn team that, despite their position, have picked up two wins from their last two games.
“We know what’s coming. They are tactically fluid as well; they change their shape in games to get results. They did that on Monday, got two goals and won the game.”
