Our prediction: Morecambe v Newport County

This one could very easily go either way. Morecambe barely saw the ball in their semi-final clashes but found a way to win, while Newport powered their way to victory by any means necessary.

Former Morecambe striker Kevin Ellison made headlines this season, when the 42-year-old scored against his old club for Newport and celebrated wildly in front of Shrimps' boss Derek Adams, after claiming his former manager disrespected him by letting him leave.

He will be determined to taste another dose of revenge this weekend on the big stage.

Newport have already done the double over Morecambe in the league this season and have won their last three matches in a row against the Shrimps. They have every chance of extending that run.

Our prediction: Morecambe 1-2 Newport County (17/2 at bet365)
