League Two as it stands

Although the battle to stay in League Two ended at the weekend when it was confirmed that York City would be joining Dagenham & Redbridge in the National League next season, the race for promotion is continuing to hot up.

At the top Northampton have easily run away with the league title but Accrington, Oxford, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth and Portsmouth are all locked in a battle for the remaining two automatic promotion places.

Accrington and Oxford currently hold the momentum but they both face potentially tricky away matches against Wycombe and Carlisle respectively.

Meanwhile Bristol Rovers will fancy their chances of picking up all three points on Saturday when they face already relegated York, whilst Portsmouth will be hopeful of getting a result at Hartlepool.

AFC Wimbledon could have secured a play off place with victory over Pompey last night but defeat means that their post season plans are not quite confirmed.

The Dons are currently sitting in the final play off position and are five points ahead of Cambridge.

They will have another chance to confirm their play off spot against Stevenage but Cambridge will be waiting in the wings for any potential slip ups if they can pull off a victory against Plymouth at the Abbey Stadium.
