Nahki Wells & Huddersfield in Championship Play-off Semi-Final
Huddersfield 0 Sheffield Wednesday 0
Nahki Wells starts as Huddersfield kick-off in their traditional blue and white stripes in their Championship play-off Semi-Final against Sheffield Wednesday who are in their change strip of black shirts and orange shorts.
Sheffield Wednesday will consider themselves to have the advantage after holding Huddersfield to a goalless draw at the John Smith's Stadium.
Huddersfield who finished the regular season in fifth, bossed the entire 90 minutes but were unable to find an elusive goal, with Izzy Brown clipping the crossbar in the first half and Wells twice testing Keiren Westwood in the Wednesday net.
David Wagner's men have had a brilliant season, flirting with automatic promotion for much of it, but they will see this as a missed opportunity given their total domination of their home leg.
Reggie Lambe & Carlisle in League Two Play-off Semi-Final
Carlisle United 3 Exeter City 3
Substitutes John O'Sullivan and Shaun Miller struck inside a minute as Reggie Lambe and his Carlisle United teammates staged a dramatic fightback against Exeter to keep their dreams of Wembley glory alive.
Carlisle United were trailing 3-1 at Brunton Park with 18 minutes of their Sky Bet League Two play-off first leg remaining after Joel Grant, Ryan Harley and David Wheeler had left Exeter in the driving seat despite Jordan Taylor-Moore's own goal.
However, O'Sullivan reduced the deficit when his 72nd-minute cross sailed over keeper Bobby Olejnik's head and into the net, and Miller levelled with a header seconds later to silence the 571 travelling fans among a crowd of 9,708 ahead of Thursday night's return at St James Park.
