    Intriguing clash of in-form sides

    Dagenham & Redbridge host Morecambe looking to continue their impressive home form in the first leg of their League Two play-off semi-final. John Still's side have won their last five games at home before sealing the last play-off berth with a 2-0 win at relegated Darlington in the last game of the regular season. Still will be hoping it is third time lucky as a manager in the play-offs - he reached two play-off semi-finals as Barnet boss but lost out to Colchester and Peterborough. The Daggers will also be wary of the threat of Morecambe, who beat them 1-0 at home on 24th April. That victory was one of seven in the last nine games for Sammy McIlroy's in-form side as they claimed fourth spot in the table. Unlike Still, McIlroy has tasted success in the lottery of the play-offs - he guided the club into the Football League for the first time in 2007 via a Conference play-off final win against Exeter at Wembley. After Sunday's clash, the sides will then do battle again at Christie Park on Thursday for the right to face either Aldershot or Rotherham at Wembley.

    Team news

    The home side do not have any new injury worries ahead of Sunday's tie, meaning just long-term absentee midfielder Stuart Thurgood is missing. Morecambe's top scorer Phil Jevons could return to hand McIlroy a massive boost for the clash. The on-loan Huddersfield striker has missed the last four games with a calf injury but was in contention to make the squad for the final day 1-0 victory over Aldershot and - with an extra eight days to recover - he could be fit to face the Daggers.
