League One Preview: Cod Army face Spireites

Fleetwood – promoted via the League Two play-offs last term – have adapted well to life in the third tier and quickly moved to the top of the table.

Consecutive wins against Crewe Alexandra, Notts County and Scunthorpe United mean Alexander's side will be full of confidence ahead of Chesterfield's visit on Saturday.

"I was really pleased with our performance [at Scunthorpe on Tuesday]," Alexander told the club's official website.

"I thought we were very professional and looked dangerous when we got forward. But we have to maintain our form - and look to improve.

"There can be no resting on our laurels and thinking we have cracked it after the start we have made."

Coventry have been tenants at Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium - more than 50 kilometres away from the Ricoh Arena – since last season after an ugly dispute that involved the local council and landlords.

Simon Grayson's side are one of just five teams still unbeaten in the division and they will fancy their chances of extending that run at Deepdale.

Bradford, who sit second, face a potentially difficult test at home to Peterborough United, though, with Darren Ferguson's side also in the top six.
