Swindon Town play host to Chester City at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 2 of the 14 games.

The last time the two teams met at Swindon Town was amazingly over twenty years ago, in September 1986, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Third Division match.
