Barnet and Morecambe will be fighting to stay in the Football League on the final day of Sky Bet League Two action on Saturday.

Martin Allen has worked wonders since returning to the club and Barnet kept their Great Escape alive with a late win at Morecambe last Saturday. The Bees face relegated Chesterfield knowing that only victory will likely do, while Morecambe have a two-point cushion over their relegation rivals as they prepare to head to Coventry.

The bad news for Morecambe is that Coventry still need at least a point to guarantee themselves a play-off spot. The Sky Blues are sixth in the table but only sit three points clear of Mansfield, who host Crawley. The Stags have a slightly inferior goal difference (15 to 17), but have scored more goals this season.

Mansfield could also take Lincoln's place, with the Imps level on points with Coventry ahead of their clash with Yeovil at Sincil Bank and with a goal difference of 16.

Coventry and Lincoln could still finish as high as fourth in the table. Exeter and Notts County both missed out on automatic promotion last week but still have the advantage of a home tie in the second leg of their play-off semi-finals to play for. Exeter host Colchester and Notts County welcome promoted Luton.
