Walsall manager Mat Sadler says they are facing a ‘top team’ in Chesterfied in the play-offs. The sides meet in the first leg of the semi-final on Sunday at the SMH Group Stadium with a 3.30pm kick-off. The atmosphere is set to be electric with both sets of supporters having snapped up all their tickets. Both teams will no doubt have one eye on the other semi-final between Notts County and AFC Wimbledon on Saturday night before they get ready to go into battle themselves.

Armando Dobra has returned to full training ahead of Chesterfield’s play-off semi-final against Walsall. The Spireites entertain the Sadlers on Sunday (3.30pm) in the first leg, with the return fixture taking place next Friday. The winners across the two matches will face either Notts County or AFC Wimbledon in the final at Wembley on May 26. And the Blues have received a pre-match fitness boost with Dobra now back in full training after missing the last four outings with a groin injury.
