History of the Lincoln City v Chester City fixture

Lincoln City prepare to entertain Chester City at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Red Imps are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 5 of the 38 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was just last season, in September 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
