Doncaster

Port Vale will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Stevenage when they face Doncaster Rovers in the League One round 5. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for the Valiants. Therefore, they are eager to start winning on a regular basis in order to keep their playoffs hopes alive. The bad news for the hosts, though, is that both Funso Ojo and Jordan Shipley limped...

Out-of-form Northampton will be aiming to give fans some cheer as they welcome Exeter City to their Sixfields Stadium on Saturday.
