League Two preview

The fight for promotion to League One could not be any tighter going into the final day.

Yeovil, Scunthorpe, Southend and Swansea can all grasp silverware at the final whistle, but for one of the four, heartache could await in the play-offs.

If Yeovil can beat Lincoln at home then the title will be heading for Huish Park but anything but maximum spoils would allow any of Scunthorpe, Southend or Swansea to steal the crown they have coveted all season.

Swansea travel to in-form Bury, Scunthorpe to Shrewsbury, whilst Steve Tilson's Southend have an all seaside clash at Grimsby.

Darlington are the club lookng for slip-ups in the play-off spots and if they manage to beat Cheltenham then Northampton, Macclesfield and Lincoln could all be caught.

Expect an afternoon of surprises in what will be one of the closest finishes to a League Two campaign in living memory.
