Breaking: Weekend football team news.
This may be an international weekend, but the likes of Leeds, Huddersfield, Rotherham and Bradford are still in action across Yorkshire.
Log on throughout the day for the very latest team news from all of Yorkshire's teams in action this weekend.
League One
Cheltenham Town v Huddersfield Town
Strikers Danny Cadamarteri and Andy Booth are both ruled out by injury while centreback Andy Butler is unavailable for the third game in a row due to a back problem. Midfielder James Berrett has recovered from an ankle injury but is with the Republic of Ireland Under 21 squad. Cheltenham give a debut to former Sheffield Wednesday striker Lloyd Owusu.
Referee: J Singh (Middlesex)
Huddersfield manager Stan Ternent said: "I know people will call me stubborn and call me arrogant and things like that, but I'm not. People say that about me but I'm not - I am just very single minded about what I do. I'll listen to advice and things like that but I know which way I'm going and I'll get there. Sooner or later, we'll get there."
Leeds United v Crewe Alexandra
Leeds are boosted by the return of defender Alan Sheehan, after a three game absence with concussion, and utility player Paul Telfer who has missed two games with a groin strain. Striker Jermaine Beckford, who was rested for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, replaces Enoch Showunmi who has been struggling with a hip injury.
Referee: TM Kettle (Rutland)
Manager Gary McAllister said: "I know it is still the early stages, and we are only four games in, but I wanted more points on the board. It's about us getting three points on Saturday - nothing else."
League Two
Chesterfield v Rotherham
The Millers have defender Pablo Mills and striker Ryan Taylor back after illness while new signing Omar Garcia is hoping to make his debut.
Referee: S Attwell (Warwickshire)
Millers manager Mark Robins said: "What has happened so far bodes well for the future but we're not getting carried away. The aim now is to concentrate on mkaing it a good September."
Port Vale v Bradford City
Bradford manager Stuart McCall is likely to revert to his strongest side after making five changes for the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy game at Leeds. Defender Matt Clarke has recovered from a calf strain, strikers Michael Boulding and Peter Thorne are likely to be recalled, and possibly Lee Bullock and Paul Arnison.
Referee: PN Gibbs (Midlands)
City manager Stuart McCall said: "Some people have lucky clubs and grounds but I just recall Port Vale for having a big pitch - and I was always shattered after 20 minutes playing there!"
Blue Square Conference
York v Woking
FORMER Rotherham United defender Phil Gilchrist has been put in temporary charge of Woking ahead of today's trip to York City.
Gilchrist, 35, has picked up the reins following the sacking of Kim Grant and the departure of director of football Colin Lippiatt.
York manager Colin Walker, who also played for Rotherham in his younger days, will be looking to capitalise on the turmoil in the opposition camp as the Minstermen look to extend a seven game unbeaten start to the season.
"Staying unbeaten helps the confidence of the team," said Walker. "We're on a long unbeaten run but we've got to try to turn some of these draws (five so far) into wins.
Victory today could propel York into the play-off places.
Striker Onome Sodje is ruled out with a hamstring problem and Niall Henderson is still away on international duty with the Northern Ireland under-21 squad.Simon Rusk and Steven Hogg are also unavilable due to injury.
