The Spireites reached the play-offs in their first season back in the EFL but will be gunning for the automatic spots this season as Paul Cook looks to take the club back to League One.

Three points on the board would be the dream start for Chesterfield against a Barrow side hoping to punch above their weight.

The Cumbrian club have one of the EFL's smallest budgets but are looking up the table and not down after last term's mid-table finish.

That is, in large part, due to the appointment of Andy Whing, who had the Bluebirds in flying form after his appointment in January and will hope to build on that in his first full season in charge.
