Port Vale host Newport County at Vale Park in a matchday 17 fixture of the EFL League Two.
Port Vale take on Newport County at Vale Park on Saturday 28 November, with kick-off at 3pm. It's matchday 17 of the EFL League Two season, so we're well into the campaign by the time this one rolls around.
For Newport, it's a bit of a milestone: their 115th season in existence, and their fourteenth consecutive year in the same division. They've been in League Two for a while now, so this is familiar territory for them.
If you've never been to Vale Park before, it's worth knowing a bit about the place. It's Port Vale's home ground, with a capacity of 19,052, and when it first opened it earned the nickname 'The Wembley of the North' because of its size. Its record attendance is 49,768, set back on 20 February 1960 in a match against Aston Villa.

There's more to the ground than just football, too. On 1 August 1981, it hosted 'Heavy Metal Holocaust', a one-off rock concert that brought together Motörhead, Ozzy Osbourne Band, Mahogany Rush, Triumph, Riot and Vardis. By the main entrance, there's a Blue Plaque commemorating Motörhead frontman Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister, who was from Burslem.
So, Port Vale v Newport County, Saturday 28 November, 3pm at Vale Park, Hamil Road, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, ST6 1AW.
