Bradford are down but Scunthorpe, Walsall, Plymouth and Southend are separated by only a point – Argyle and the Iron meet in a key fixture.Meanwhile, Walsall to Shrewsbury and Southend host Sunderland.AFC Wimbledon are still not mathematically safe if three of those four teams win.

League Two

With Lincoln and Bury promoted, attention shifts to the winner-takes-all clash between MK Dons and Mansfield. The winners will be promoted, while the draw benefits Mansfield due to their superior goal difference.The unsuccessful team will join Forest Green and Tranmere in the play-offs, with Newport occupying the final spot after Tuesday’s win over Oldham. They must still win at Morecambe to avoid opening the door for Exeter, a point behind ahead of their clash with Forest Green.MK Dons boss Danny Butterfield faces a must-win clash against Mansfield this weekend4

Colchester, Carlisle and Stevenage retain an outside chance should both slip up.Yeovil are relegated and Notts County will join them unless they beat Swindon and Macclesfield lose to Cambridge – a draw for Sol Campbell’s men would leave County needing at least an eight-goal win.
