An early break in play here as Port Vale's Benicio Baker-Boaitey, who is on loan from Premier League Brighton, goes down with a slight knock.

He's back up though and looks like he will be able to continue.

First sight of goal as the ball is clipped by Thelo Aasgaard in to Wigan striker Joe Hugill whose control takes him a little wide and he skews a shot well past the right post of Zach Jeacock's goal from an angle.

New balls please... less than four minutes played and the match-ball has popped.

Luckily there are plenty of spares on the sidelines so we continue at a sunny Sincil Bank.

Accrington are still hunting for their first victory of the League Two season and are on their longest winless run since November 2022 in League One.

Can they end that barren spell today against Port Vale?

The hosts win an early free-kick on the right-hand side but Vale clear and are just starting to get their foot on the ball.

Almost a calamity at the back for the Grecians inside 60 seconds but City keeper Joe Whitworth keeps his cool to clear his lines.

Nervy moments for the Exeter fans who have barely taken their seats.

And we are off...

It's that time of the week... Saturday afternoon is here, the air thick with frying onions, timeless dance tunes and hope.

Kick-off in our raft of early games is mere moments away...

Accrington Stanley have endured a difficult start to the League Two season and are still looking for their first win at the seventh attempt.

Today's opponents Port Vale might just provide a glimmer of hope for the hosts despite the fact they currently sit 15 places lower in the table.

The 'Owd Reds are unbeaten in their last four league clashes with Vale, winning three and drawing one, while the visitors have only won three of their last 14 games on the road.

However, Darren Moore's side did thrash Newport County 4-1 in their previous away game and also beat Salford 2-0 at Moor Lane on the opening day of the campaign.

Vale come into this off the back of two consecutive victories and will climb up to fourth with a win, even if only for a couple of hours.

Three points for Accrington would lift them out of the relegation zone and above Carlisle who travel to Swindon later today.

It is seven years since these two met in Derbyshire with Cheltenham Townrunning out 2-0 winners thanks to a Mo Eisa brace.

Chesterfield fans probably do not want to be reminded their season ended in relegation to the National League from where they finally returned last season.

The home side have made a steady return to the EFL with an unbeaten home start following-up their promotion season where they lost just once at the SMH Group Stadium (against Kidderminster Harriers, just in case you were wondering).

Cheltenham Townboss Michael Flynnwas appointed in June, making it his third EFL job in 13 months.

The Robins have lost all three on their travels by the odd goal, so it's unbeaten at home v winless away...

The Stevenage fans who embarked on the first leg of a nine-hour, 450-mile round-trip to Exeter for this early kick-off likely did so more in hope than expectation.

The Grecians have a stunning record against Boro, especially at home, winning the last six straight at St James Park and are unbeaten in a dozen games in all competitions in this fixture.

Stevenage have picked up only four points in total across their past 10 visits to Devon and have been on a poor run on their travels, failing to win in their last 10 away games, picking up six points. Their last victory on the road came at Wigan in January.

Alex Revell's side did win 3-0 against Barnsley last time out – more goals than they had managed in their previous four league games combined.

Exeter have lost two of their last three at home but history, if nothing else, is on their side today.

Sincil Bank has been a happier hunting ground for Wigan than Lincoln, of late.

The Imps are unbeaten on the road this season but have lost three of their past four infront of their own fans, conceding twice in each, including a 2-1 defeat in this fixture back in April.

That was a second-straight win for the Latics at Lincoln and the visitors will be looking to make it three straight for the first time ever – if they do it will be 10 points from their last four visits to City and five wins from their last seven.

Shaun Maloney’s men come in off the back of a thumping 4-0 success at Bristol Rovers last time out, though it did double their goal tally from their previous four league games.

Lincoln have scored in every game and netted four themselves in their previous home game against Mansfield.

Which way will this one swing?

League One:

• Exeter City v Stevenage
• Lincoln City v Wigan Athletic

League Two:

• Accrington Stanley v Port Vale
• Chesterfield v Cheltenham Town
