All square and all to play for in second leg

MK Dons and Scunthorpe United take centre-stage in their second-leg clash as the duo lock horns for a place in the League One play-off final. Thursday night's other semi-final saw Millwall book their Wembley ticket after Leeds United could only manage a 1-1 drawat Elland Road and it's the same scoreline which leaves Friday evening's encounter delicately poised. The Dons and the Iron go head-to-head after the Glanford Park draw last week with both teams feeling confident of making the 24th May date in the capital. For Dons boss Roberto Di Matteo, it is a short journey to London from Milton Keynes if they make the final and the Italian has challenged his big game players to answer the call in what will be club's most significant match in their five-year history. For United manager Nigel Adkins, whose side edged out Tranmere to grab the fourth available play-off spot, the Iron's hopes of ensuring the match was still a contest for the second-leg is very much alive in a game that winner takes all.

Team-news

Both sides have injury concerns to fret over as the pair bid to play Championship football next term. Di Matteo could again be without defender Sean O'Hanlon for the return leg. O'Hanlon missed the final two league games with strained knee ligaments, which also sidelined him for last Friday's first leg, while Ali Gerba (knee) and Danny Swailes (ankle) are definitely ruled out. Adkins will give late fitness tests to 30-goal leading scorer Gary Hooper for his ankle injury and goalkeeper Joe Murphy's groin complaint for the vital fixture, although Marcus Williams is certainly out with an Achilles problem. The Iron boss has added Joseph Mills and Andrew Wright to his squad after the duo were unavailable for the first leg, while Alan Crosby appears to have overcome a hamstring problem and could slot into defence.
