At the age of 37, there is unlikely to be a more experienced lower league player on the pitch than Joe Garner on Sunday, who is expected to lead the line for Oldham. He has achieved promotion through the play-offs on two previous occasions, with Preston North End and Carlisle United.

He has picked up three yellow cards in his last five appearances for Oldham, suggesting he finds it hard to keep his discipline in these high pressure games. He is a target man who will look to throw his weight around and disrupt opposition defenders with his physical style.

Right wing back Scott-Morriss has scored 17 league goals this season, none of which were penalties, which gives him the 3rd highest tally once spot kicks are removed.

Oldham have kept clean sheets in both play-off games so far, but we expect Southend to be the winners if there is one in normal time, and this to be a tight encounter. If that plays out, Scott-Morriss is the most likely goalscorer on the pitch.

This would be the perfect occasion to end his run of 10 games without a goal, which surely cannot continue.
