Match preview

The fact Salford City are owned by a host of former Manchester United stars means they receive a high profile in the opening rounds of the FA Cup, but they should be involved in a truly intriguing clash against Chesterfield on Sunday.

Gary Bowyer's Ammies are unbeaten in their last four league matches, but their dreams of a potential third-round clash at Old Trafford could be extinguished by the National League leaders.

James Rowe's Spireites have lost just one of their 17 league matches this season and a goal tally of 35 is equally impressive. They have also failed to score in just one of their last 14 away games.

While Salford's have gained four points in their last two home matches, it would be easy to get carried away as they needed an injury-time equaliser to draw with Bristol Rovers and would have been expected to beat managerless strugglers Oldham last week.
