Proact Stadium
Saturday, Arpil 25th, 3pm
Sky Bet League One Champions Bristol City travel to Chesterfield this Saturday looking to add to their points tally.
All the key information on tomorrow's opponents can be found below.
CHESTERFIELD
The Spireites have coped well with life back in Sky Bet League One and now look certain to be in the play-offs. Victory in one of their remaining two fixtures will book their place in the end-of-season lottery. Their final games come against City and play-off rivals Sheffield United. Even if Chesterfield did slip up, Rochdale still require maximum points from their two games to overtake the Derbyshire club. They are unbeaten in their last seven games, with five wins in that time.
MANAGER
Paul Cook – Midfielder who had spells at nine different clubs, including long stints at Wigan Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley before finishing his playing career at Accrington Stanley in 2006. After managerial stints at Southport and Sligo Rovers, Cook was appointed manager of his former club Accrington in 2012, who he led to a 14th place finish in the 2011/12 season. In October 2012 he moved to Chesterfield and won promotion to League One in his first full season. Recently targeted for the vacant managerial position at Portsmouth, with a request to speak to Cook turned down by his club.
STAR MAN
Gary Roberts - Last year's League Two Player of the Season has continued his good form up a level. Roberts has provided the most assists for the Spireites in their promotion push, with 13 to date. He's also weighed in with ten goals from midfield.
OFFICIALS
Peter Bankes will be the man in charge, assisted by Mark Jones and Richard Wild. The fourth official will be Christopher Akers.
TICKETS
City fans have been allocated just under 2,000 tickets, which can be purchased in advance from Ashton Gate up until 2pm today (Friday). Call 0117 963 0600.
LAST TIME OUT
City 3-2 Chesterfield. Wes Burns scored an injury-time winner in a dramatic Ashton Gate encounter back in October. Ian Evatt's own goal gave City an early lead only for Eoin Doyle to equalise from the penalty spot. Derrick Williams headed City in front once more before Doyle scrambled a second equaliser. Burns, on as a first-half substitute, half-volleyed in the winner from a Wade Elliott cross.
