Having lost the away leg 2-1, Port Vale sent the semi-final to penalties and held their nerve to beat Swindon Town 6-5 from the spot. They come to Wembley in unconvincing form, though, having lost four of their last six games, but The Valiants are unbeaten against Mansfield this season.
Darrell Clarke has named an unchanged side from the one that triumphed at Vale Park last week. That means former Man Utd striker James Wilson starts up top, with a back three of Hall, Smith and Gibbons.
Mansfield secured the final play-off spot despite losing their last game of the season, then won both home and away against Northampton to book their place at Wembley for the final. The Stags haven't lost since a 1-0 defeat away to Carlisle in April, but form often goes out the window when it comes to the play-offs.
Nigel Clough has made two changes to his starting 11, with Newcastle loanee Matty Longstaff in for Wallace in midfield, and Murphy preferred to Akins on the wing.
It's a 4pm BST kick-off (11am ET) today, Saturday 28th May at Wembley Stadium. Read on to find out how to watch a Mansfield Town vs Port Vale live stream wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Mansfield Town vs Port Vale live stream abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant EFL League Two rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle.
A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100% risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the League Two playoff final, you may wish to choose 'Australia' to access Kayo Sports.
3. Then head over to Kayo on your browser or device and enjoy a Mansfield Town vs Port Vale stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
