Huddersfield will be looking to make light of their defeat to the Canaries as they travel to Carlisle for a tricky away game.

Shy of form Exeter face an unenviable trip to St Mary's to face Southampton and a freescoring Rickie Lambert, while MK Dons will look to get their promotion push back on track at home to crisis club Stockport.

Yeovil host Wycombe at Huish Park looking to edge further away from the drop zone.

Brighton versus Leyton Orient pairs together two strugglers, while Bristol Rovers will aim to break into the play-off pack with a win at home to a Walsall side who have ambitious plans of their own.

League One's final fixture sees two of the division's new boys pitted together as Gillingham welcome Brentford to Priestfield.
