Eurosport - Tue, 08 Apr 13:13:00 2008

A look ahead to the matches in League Two, with MK Dons on the verge of promotion into League One.

2007-2008 League Two MK Dons Sean O'Hanlon - 0

MK Dons v Wrexham

The Dons will be without defenders Drissa Diallo, who has a shoulder problem, and Sean O'Hanlon (pictured) with a broken nose.

Midfielder Colin Cameron is also unlikely to play with a knee injury in a match that could see them promoted if they win and other results go their way.

Wrexham midfielder Jeff Whitley is likely to return after recovering from a shoulder injury as the Dragons look to mount their battle for survival in earnest.

Defender Simon Spender (ankle), midfielder Danny Sonner (Achilles) and striker Rob Duffy (foot) are still sidelined for the club currently rock-bottom of the Football League.

Rochdale v Notts County

Striker Lee Thorpe will face a late fitness test as Rochdale aim to consolidate their position in the play-off places.

Rene Howe, on loan from Peterborough, could start after replacing the injured Thorpe and scoring a hat-trick against Grimsby at the weekend.

Relegation-threatened Notts County have Adam Tann as a doubt for the trip to Rochdale, as the defender has a dead leg.

Midfielders Wayne Corden, Gary Silk (both hamstring) and Jay Smith (medial ligament) will all face late fitness tests.

Morecambe v Shrewsbury Town

Morecambe defender David Artell looks set to continue to deputise for captain Jim Bentley, who is still out with a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Garry Thompson is also a doubt for the match against the struggling Shrews.

Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson has recalled Darran Kempson from his loan at Accrington Stanley, and the defender could feature.

David Hunt and Kevin Langley are definitely out, while Andy Cooke is a doubt with an ankle injury.

Bradford City v Barnet

Striker Peter Thorne is still out of contention for Bradford with a thigh problem, but winger Omar Daley should recover from a rib injury in time to play.

Willy Topp will make his last appearance before a scheduled thigh operation.

Barnet duo Adam Birchall and Anthony Thomas both came off the bench to score a goal each and rescue a draw at Mansfield at the weekend, and could be rewarded with starts at Valley Parade.

The trio of Sagi Burton (knee), Ismail Yakubu (groin) and Kenny Gillett (knee) are all out.
