A place in next season's Championship is the prize when Bolton Wanderers and Oxford United do battle in the League One play-off final at Wembley this weekend.

While the Trotters will be looking to return to the second tier after a five-year absence, the U's are hoping to play at that level for the first time since 1999 - during which time they dropped out of the EFL.

Bolton head into the clash as favourites after finishing third in the League One table, although Ian Evatt's side endured a nervy finale to their semi-final tie with Barnsley, as they nearly blew a 5-2 aggregate lead by conceding twice in the second half.

Oxford, who were fifth in the regular season, sprung a minor shock by dumping out Peterborough United in a 2-1 aggregate success to punch their ticket to Wembley.

The head-to-head record between the two teams for the current campaign tips the scales in favour of Bolton, as they romped to a 5-0 victory at home in March after a goalless draw at the Kassam Stadium last November.
