Port Vale take the short trip to face Crewe Alexandra in a match which has huge connotations for both clubs at the top of League Two.

Darren Moore's side have only won one of their past 10 matches on the road, and Tuesday's disappointing, if not slightly unlucky, 1-0 defeat by Barrow meant they missed the opportunity to jump back into the automatic promotion spots. They sit level on points with third-placed AFC Wimbledon.

Crewe, who are coming off the back of a hard-fought draw at Notts County, are winless in their past five league matches against the Valiants.

Lee Bell's side currently sit four points outside the play-offs but a win today would kickstart hopes of making it into the top seven, and would allow them to leapfrog Colchester United, who lost to fellow play-off chasers Grimsby Town last night.

Stockport County make two changes from the side which lost at Wrexham last weekend.

Jayden Fevrier and Ollie Norwood get starting berths while Brad Hills is suspended and Callum Camps is injured.

As for Burton Albion, Terence Vancooten and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson are both missing from the 2-0 win at Shrewsbury a fortnight ago.

Into the side come Anthony Forde and Kgaogelo Chauke.

These two have had pretty similar runs across the past six games but their aspirations for the remainder of the campaign are very different.

Stockport have been virutally ever-present in the top six of League One this season having gained promotion from League Two last year.

But there has been a wobble in recent weeks, which has allowed the chasing pack to close the gap on Dave Challinor's side.

Two wins from their past six matches has let seventh-placed Bolton, with a game in hand, put pressure on Stockport, although the Hatters' win at the Toughsheet Stadium a fortnight ago has helped keep them at arms length.

Burton, like Stockport, have been virtually ever-present themselves this season, the trouble is they have been stuck in the relegation zone.

But, somehow, they have got themselves in touch with safety, albeit there is a six-point buffer they need to overcome in the remaining nine games.

Six wins from their past 12 outings and only three defeats means there is still hope for the Brewers, and with 22 of their 36 points coming on the road this season Stockport will need to mind their work today.

Nathan Jones makes one change from the Charlton side which went down 3-0 at Peterborough last Saturday.

Josh Edwards returns to the XI with Tennai Watson dropping to the bench.

Interim Huddersfield boss Jon Worthington has also made one change from the side which overcame Crawley 5-1 at home two weeks ago.

Radinio Balker comes in with Josh Ruffels dropping to the bench where he’s joined by Josh Koroma and David Kasumu.

Charlton will seek to get their promotion push back on track as they welcome Huddersfield to The Valley this lunchtime for a game with huge play-off implications.

Nathan Jones’ (pictured) side lost for the first time in seven games, swept aside 3-0 at Peterborough last Saturday, but return home where they have won their past seven straight.

The Addicks sit fourth, two places and five points above Town, who occupy the final play-off spot, and who also have a fine record against the Londoners.

The Terriers have won the past five meetings between the sides, averaging nearly three goals a game in that run, won on their past two visits to The Valley and also won the reverse fixture in November 2-1.

Interim boss Jon Worthington masterminded a 5-1 win over lowly Crawley last time out on 15 March, though they had lost four of their five games before that.

A big three points is up for grabs for one of these sides, while a draw would suit the sides around them perfectly.

The top of League One sees a similar story of Birmingham City running riot as they try to make an instant return to Championship football.

However, with a game in hand Wycombe will still be hopeful of a return in to the automatic promotion places. A win for Wycombe against a Lincoln City side that put five past Bristol Rovers - would be enough to see them back into the top two and push Wrexham down into the play-offs unless the Red Dragons pick up points at Exeter this afternoon.

The last play-off spot still hangs in the balance, with sixth to ninth all separated by just three points.

Sixth-placed Huddersfield face fourth-placed Charlton Athletic, who before losing to Peterborough 3-0, were unbeaten in 13 and that loss came against league leaders Birmingham City in February.

At the bottom of the table, it is a big gap to close for Burton Albion to home in on Bristol Rovers. And with a six point gap the Brewers will be praying for a third loss in a row from The Pirates.

It is another important game for Walsall this afternoon, as they look to hold on to the top spot in League Two.

A loss or draw against promotion rivals AFC Wimbledon and a win for Bradford would mean the Saddlers drop down from the summit for the first time since the 7 December.

However, a Wimbledon loss and a Port Vale draw would be enough to put the Valiants into the top three and an automatic promotion place.

Both Colchester United and Crewe are in the chasing pack for the play-offs. A win for Crewe against Port Vale could put them one point away depending on results elsewhere.

Despite Carlisle getting four points from their past two games, it seems a tough ask for them to close the gap to safety on an in-form Tranmere side, who are unbeaten in six.

There are only six points separating third and ninth in League Two, so it is all to play for.

We have four games to get your League One and Two action up and running this afternoon.

League One

• Charlton Athletic v Huddersfield Town
• Stockport County v Burton Albion

League Two

• Accrington Stanley v Bradford City
• Crewe Alexandra v Port Vale

The EFL weekend is already well underway, on Thursday night Leyton Orient beat Stevenage to boost their play-off hopes in League One while last night there were precious wins for Grimsby over Colchester in the race for the play-offs in League Two while Tranmere beat Cheltenham to heap huge pressure on the EFL's bottom two sides at the other end.
