Five facts
1. A goal for Jon Stead this weekend will make it the first time he has scored in four consecutive games in his career. He and his Notts County side travel to Crawley.
2. Six players currently sit at the top of the League Two scoring charts. Crewe's Alex Kiwomya has the best minutes-per-goal ratio out of the bunch, boasting an impressive record of a goal every 80 minutes.
3. Mansfield have not defeated Leyton Orient in their last nine attempts, dating back to 2001.
4. Newport County have only defeated Hartlepool once. That victory came in the two sides’ first ever meeting back in the 2013/2014 season.
5. Blackpool and Plymouth have not met since the pair were Championship rivals in 2009/2010. The Tangerines won both encounters 2-0.
