Chesterfield prepare to entertain Morecambe at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Half of the previous meetings have ended in defeat for Spireites.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was just last season, in August 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
