Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Chester City at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in October 2007, with Chester City inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Mighty Mariners in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Grimsby Town at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Mighty Mariners will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
