Brentford face a testing trip to Bradford, while second-placed Bury travel to Port Vale.

Table-toppers travel to Valley Parade

League Two table-topping Brentford face a testing trip to play-off hopefuls Bradford, while second-placed Bury travel to Port Vale. Brentford, who hold a game in hand over the majority of their rivals, have opened a five-point lead at the summit and boss Andy Scott will want to reinforce that advantage at Valley Parade. But Bradford have their own promotion ambitions and Stuart McCall will be desperate to end a five-game winless run as his side look to return to a place in the top seven. Bury are currently leading the chase of Brentford, and the Shakers will hope to maintain the pace at Port Vale. With earlier leaders Wycombe, who have slipped to fourth, not in action until Tuesday, Rochdale will bid to cement a place in the automatic promotion spots with success at Bournemouth. Exeter host Dagenham & Redbridge, with the visitors yet to give up on the play-offs, while Gillingham welcome struggling Barnet to Priestfield Stadium. Chesterfield boss Lee Richardson is aiming to avoid the Manager of the Month curse when travelling to Macclesfield, having collected the accolade for March. If 22nd-placed Grimsby lose at Shrewsbury, Chester, who occupy the final spot in the relegation zone, could draw level on points with their rivals with an away win against Notts County. Rock-bottom Luton are not in action as they prepare for Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final against Scunthorpe, which can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1. Darlington see mid-table foes Morecambe come calling, while Aldershot take on Rotherham, who continue to climb the table, and Lincoln journey to Accrington.
