Leaders Chesterfield take on Port Vale while Oxford travel to Bury hoping to stall their promotion push. Table-toppers Chesterfield will look to extend their 11-point advantage at the top of the league against an inconsistent Port Vale side with caretaker boss Mark Grew still at the helm. Rock-bottom Stockport will be looking to prove that victory for second-placed Wycombe is not a forgone conclusion when the two sides meet at Adams Park. Bury face a tough task if they are to break back into the automatic promotion places on Saturday as Oxford visit Gigg Lane still harbouring hopes off a play-off place of their own. It's tight at the top and no team is more aware of it than Shrewsbury, with Graham Turner's men holding on to an automatic promotion place by just a single point as they prepare to face Macclesfield. Five wins on the bounce is promotion form for Stevenage as they invite a directionless but unpredictable Bradford City to Broadhall Way. Just a single point off the play-off places, Torquay will hope to take advantage of some patchy form from Lincoln City as they go in search of three points. Gillingham will be hoping that a 13-game unbeaten streak does not prove to be unlucky as the promotion chasers take on Hereford at Priestfield Stadium. Play-off chasers Accrington Stanley travel to Sixfields to take on a Northampton side that show no sign up snapping their 12-game winless streak, form that sees the Cobblers still in danger of the drop. Despite having a favourable three-game advantage over the sides beneath them, Burton Albion will be concerned that those two sides occupy the relegation zone. A win at the Pirelli Stadium could push struggling Barnet deeper into the relegation mire. Crewe Alexandra face off against Cheltenham in a mid-table clash at Gresty Road. Mark Yates will hope his men can improve on a record of just one win in their last five. Rotherham rebounded in style after being thumped by Chesterfield to beat Lincoln 6-0, momentum they will hope to take into their game against struggling Morecambe. 13th takes on 14th in the league as Aldershot travel to nearest rivals Southend. Dean Holdsworth's men are in the better form, unbeaten in seven.
