Former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson will be hoping it's third time lucky in the play-offs as he looks to take his Oxford United side to Wembley.

The League One play-off semi-final second legs will kick-off tonight (Monday) with Oxford hosting Portsmouth following the 1-1 draw at Fratton Park last Friday. Robinson twice led Dons to the play-off semi-finals during his seven-year reign at Stadium MK, but came unstuck against Peterborough and Huddersfield.

The other semi-final though looks a little more clear-cut as Wycombe bring Fleetwood back to Adams Park with a mighty 4-1 lead to defend. Gareth Ainsworth's side set the pace in League One for long periods of the 2019/20 season before dropping out of the automatic promotion spots around the turn of the year.

Last week, Northampton secured their spot in League One thanks to a 4-0 win over Exeter at Wembley in the League Two play-off final.

Oxford against Portsmouth kicks off at 5pm, ahead of Wycombe vs Fleetwood at 7:30pm.
