    Lincoln City v Shrewsbury Town

    Shrewsbury midfielder Abu Ogogo has been ruled out of the Checkatrade Trophy final with Lincoln at Wembley on Sunday.

    Ogogo suffered a knee injury in training and is likely to miss the rest of the season. Alex Rodman (back) and Toto Nsiala (fractured cheekbone) are doubts for the Sky Bet League One side.

    Pre-match stats

    This is the 35th Football League Trophy final, and the 27th to be held at Wembley Stadium.

    Neither of today's finalists has won this competition - the winners today will be the 26th side to lift the trophy.

    Lincoln are playing at Wembley for the first time in the club's history. They were runners-up in the 1983 Football League Group Cup, the forerunner to this tournament - lost the final 3-2 at home to Millwall.

    Lincoln are also aiming to become the 5th team from the 4th tier to win the trophy, after Wolves (1988), Carlisle (1997), MK Dons (2008) and Luton (2009).

    Danny Cowley has won 17 of 24 cup games as Lincoln manager (appointed May 2016) - no manager in England's top 5 divisions has won more cup games since the beginning of last season.

    Shrewsbury have reached the FLT final once before, when losing in 1996 - they lost 2-1 to Rotherham at the old Wembley. Current manager Paul Hurst was in the Rotherham side that day.

    Prutton's prediction

    The Checkatrade Trophy final is upon us! Both of these teams have got a weekend off from the stress of promotion to enjoy a day out at Wembley, and what a great occasion it should be.

    Shrewsbury will be favourites because they're in a higher league, but Lincoln will fancy their chances of causing another big upset, as they have done so often in cup competitions over the past couple of years. I think the Shrews will sneak this one in normal time.

    David Prutton predicts: Shrewsbury to win 2-1 (8/1 with Sky Bet)
