Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Lincoln City at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 9 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was just last season, in December 2007, the Mighty Mariners carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.
