    Morecambe v Newport (15:00 BST)

    Newport boss Mike Flynn makes just one change to the side which began the play-off semi-final second leg at Forest Green, with captain Joss Labadie recalled to the starting side.

    Labadie missed the first leg having picked up and injury on the final day of the regular season, and his return is a welcome boost for the Exiles.

    Anthony Hartigan drops to the bench, where he joins Morecambe old boy Kevin Ellison.

    Newport: King, Shephard, Bennett, Demetriou, Lewis, Labadie (c), Sheehan, Dolan, Haynes, Collins, Amond.

    Subs: Townsend, Farquharson, Ledley, Hartigan, Ellison, Maynard, Taylor.

    The sun is shining, the teams are in and the atmosphere is building at Wembley ahead of the last of this year's EFL play-off finals.

    After Brentford beat Swansea City to reach the Premier League and Blackpool saw off Lincoln City to secure a place in the Championship, today's battle is for promotion to League One.

    In the red corner are Derek Adams' Morecambe, who finished fourth in League Two, and in the amber corner we have Mike Flynn's Newport County, who ended the regular season in fifth.

    With a bit of luck, they will produce a bit of play-off drama.
