Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient will contest a London derby with massive implications at Wembley as the two sides go head-to-head in the League One play-off final.

Nobody could have predicted back at the end of November that these two sides would be the ones to make it to the play-off final, with an inconsistent Charlton solidly in mid-table while Orient were down in the relegation zone.

But they have each got their just rewards for being the two most in-form sides in the third tier behind champions Birmingham City since then - and now it all comes down to this play-off final to decide who will join Birmingham and Wrexham in the Championship next year.

The one-minute delay to the kick-off time (13:01 BST) is an EFL bid to raise awareness for the "Every Minute Matters" campaign alongside the British Heart Foundation.
