Walsall hold a 2-0 advantage over Chesterfield as we approach Friday's crucial second leg in the League Two play-offs.

Mat Sadler's side looked to be home and hosed midway through the season, having topped the table for the most amount of time in the fourth tier.

But after winning just four of their last 22 games, the Saddlers find themselves in the play-offs.

The Spireites were no match in the first leg, but will be hopeful of a famous turn around on Friday night, with a bumper crowd expected in Staffordshire.
