STATE OF PLAY...
Nick Daws’ men come into this game on a nine match unbeaten run, which has included four wins in their last six games.
The tie is firmly in the balance following the first leg stalemate at Glanford Park on Saturday, with Cameron McGeehan coming off the bench to net his first goal for the club with a minute of normal time remaining. Michael Ihiekwe had earlier put through his own net for Scunthorpe's first equaliser, with strikes from Jon Taylor and Joe Newell both cancelled out.
The encounter at the New York Stadium will have to be played to a conclusion, with the game going to extra time and penalties if required. The away goals rule is not in operation for the play-offs.
TEAM NEWS…
Daws made five changes to his side going into the first leg, reverting back to the team who picked up victories over Charlton Athletic, Walsall, MK Dons and Plymouth Argyle.
He may, however, be forced into making one change with goalkeeper Matt Gilks labelled as a doubt after being forced off at the weekend with a knee injury. Should he be missing, Rory Watson will be the man to replace him.
Elsewhere, Luke Williams (hamstring) returned to training ahead of the first leg, while Jonathon Margetts (knee) is a definite absentee.

ONE TO WATCH…
Rotherham’s midfielder Ryan Williams won the Sky Bet Man of the Match in the first leg at Glanford Park and will be looking to put in a similar personal performance when the two sides lock horns again on Wednesday.
It's his first season with the Millers after switching from Barnsley in the summer, with the Australian making 45 appearances so far this campaign in all competitions. 33 of those have been league starts, scoring on four occasions.
