Port Vale preview: Eyeing their first win
Port Vale will enter this contest as one of six teams without a win in League One this season, as they continue their search for maximum points after three matches.
While the Vale Park outfit have an injury-free squad ahead of this skirmish, they will be without the services of George Byers due to suspension, with the captain sent off in just the 15th minute of the goalless draw with Burton Albion last weekend.
Aside from Byers' absence, there will unlikely be many changes made to the starting XI.
Predicted lineup: Marosi (GK), Humphreys, Hall, Debrah, Clark, Croasdale, Ojo, Shipley, Gordon, Tolaj & Curtis.

Stevenage preview: No injury concerns
The early stages of the 2025-26 League One season have seen Stevenage go on a three-game winning run, becoming the only side in the English third tier to do so this campaign.
Coach Alex Revell has no injury worries going into this game, which means he will most likely put out a lineup resembling the side that beat Northampton last time out, with Jamie Reid as the lone striker in a possible 4-2-3-1 formation.
Predicted lineup: Marschall (GK), James-Wildin, Goode, Piergianni, Butler, White, Houghton, Roberts, Kemp, Campbell & Reid.
