The Blues travel to North Derbyshire with an unbeaten league record to maintain, as they look to continue their push up the table on Saturday afternoon.

Away trips to Chesterfield have proved to be a thankless task in previous years; the Wanderers haven't won a game at Saltergate since 2002 when a double from Andy Rammell gave Lawrie Sanchez's side all three points.

The Spireites lie just a point behind Wycombe, with a defeat at home to Bury sandwiched by victories against Barnet and Grimsby.

Wanderers World Peter Taylor talks to Wanderers World ahead of the trip to Saltergate.

Wanderers manager Peter Taylor has told wwfc.com that his side are fully prepared for what is sure to be a tough test against their fellow promotion chasers.

"We'd love to go and get another win, it'd be nice to have three wins on the spin but there is an awful lot of work that has to be done," he said.

"Chesterfield are a good team, they have two very good strikers. We are playing well, putting in some good performances and creating plenty of chances. If I was to be a touch critical then we need to get that second goal and kill teams off, but I'm really happy with the spirit in the camp so I think the lads are going to go and make the most of it."

Wanderers World Simon Church talks to Wanderers World

Chesterfield striker Jamie Ward has told BBC Radio Sheffield he is confident of hitting the 20-goal mark if he stays fit this season.

The 22-year-old, who scored 12 times in the league last season, has struck twice on four games so far.

"Last season I was having a few problems with my hamstrings, but this season - touch wood - I have not had any," he said.

"I am confident I will get 20 goals - and I think Jack Lester will score 20 as well. I enjoy it most of the time when I'm not playing with Jack because I know there's pressure on me to score," he said. "That's what being a goalscorer is all about."



Team News

Wanderers: Lewwis Spence could be a doubt after leaving the game against Lincoln at half time with a calf injury. Matt Phillips and Lewis Hunt both return to training on Monday, but the trip to Saltergate will come to soon for the duo. New striker Simon Church goes straight into the squad after signing on loan from Reading.

Chesterfield: Manager Lee Richardson should be able to name an unchanged squad from the victory over the Mariners, although last season's 25-goal man Jack Lester could be in with a shout of making the bench as he recovers from injury.
Last Time Out

The Wanderers fell to a 2-0 defeat at Saltergate last September, with goals from Derek Niven and Jack Lester inflicting the Blues' first away defeat of the season. The game was marred by an unfortunate pre-match incident, when Wycombe left back Tom Williams withdrew from the starting line-up with chest pains.
