Morecambe prepare to entertain Chesterfield at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Shrimps have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was just last season, in October 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.
