All but four of next season's League Two teams are decided. Now just the Playoff issues need to be settled after the relegation and automatic promotions were settled, and there could be a potential Manchester derby in the Playoff Final for the second year running.

Twenty teams are confirmed in League Two next season. The twenty teams are Accrington Stanley, Aldershot, Barnet, Bournemouth, Bradford, Burton Albtion, Cheltenham Town, Chesterfield, Crewe Alexandra, Dagenham and Redbridge, Darlington, Grimsby Town, Hereford United, Lincoln City, Macclesfield Town, Morecambe, Northampton Town, Notts County, Port Vale and Rotherham United.

Northampton and Crewe were relegated on the final day of the season thanks to respective defeats over Leeds United and Leicester City, whereas Exeter City beat Rotherham to claim their place in League Two and Wycombe came within one goal of bottling promotion yet again, going up on goal difference over Bury. Shrewsbury also beat Dagenham to claim the final Playoff place.

So the League Two Playoffs will now see Bury and Shrewsbury face each other, as well as Gillingham and Rochdale, two teams who met on the final day of the season and the Gills will be hoping that the result repeats itself as they won 1-0.

Chester City and Luton Town were the two teams who went down, being replaced by Burton Albion and the winners of the Blue Square Playoffs. Both Stevenage of Torquay United hold two goal advantages over Cambridge and Histon. Both second legs are on Monday afternoon.

Twenty down, four to go
