James Wilson starts: How we expect Port Vale to line up against Sutton on Saturday | OneFootball

After their fine run of form in recent weeks, Port Vale have given themselves a great chance to compete for a place in the League Two play-offs.

Currently sitting ninth in the League Two table, and undefeated in their last four, the Valiants are just two points behind sixth-placed Newport County.

This weekend, they take on Sutton United in front of their own fans, a crucial match up in the play-off chase given that Sutton are one place and one point above Port Vale in the table.

With that being said, we’ve taken a look at a potential side Darrell Clarke could put out this weekend.

In goal, we expect Aidan Stone to continue, whilst Clarke could line the side up in a 3-4-1-2/5-2-1-2 formation.

In that case, we expect Nathan Smith, Brad Walker and Connor Hall to get the nods at centre-back, whilst David Worrall and Mal Benning could likely occupy the wing-back positions.

In the centre of the pitch, we expect a holding two of Tom Pett and Harry Charsley, with Ben Garrity playing in a slightly more advanced role.
