Your Complete Guide to the Football League Play-offs: Doncaster Rovers v Leeds United

It is the turn of League One to take centre-stage at Wembley this afternoon as Doncaster Rovers take on Leeds United in the Yorkshire Derby, the first of two 'derbies' this holiday weekend.

For the both these teams to reach this afternoon's play-off is quite remarkable. Leeds started the season with -15 points and a few years ago, Doncaster were playing their football outside of the Football League pyramid.

Rochdale and Darlington played out an entertaining League Two semi-final 2nd Leg at Spotland this lunchtime with Rochdale winning the game 2-1, after going a goal down.

Rochdale won the shoot-out 5-4 with the unfortunate Jason Kennedy having his penalty saved by Rochdale's Tommy Lee.

Your Complete Guide to the Football League Play-offs: Carlisle Utd v Leeds Utd

If tonight's game is as half as good of any the matches this season throughout the play-off season, then we should be in for a cracker!!!

I am still scratching my head as to why Leeds and Carlisle have to meet twice in the space of three days, when Doncaster and Southend, Wycombe and Stockport and Rochdale and Darlington have ALL had nearly a week to prepare for their respective 2nd legs.

Anyway Carlisle go into tonight's encounter leading 2-1 from the first leg which was played at Elland Road on Monday night. Dougie Freedman's late late goal has given Leeds half a chance to reach Wembley for the League One play-off final.

The game at Brunton Park kicks-off at 7.45pm and as with all the other games covered so far, scores, scorers and any other news will appear in the comments section. (Updates will appear every five minutes, unless any thing happens in between).
