EFL: Build-up to Saturday's action; listen to Squad Goals

Stevenage's FA Cup heroics haven't detracted from their quest for promotion from League Two.

The Boro are still second in the table after a 12-game unbeaten run, with an imperious back-three of Dan Sweeney, Carl Piergianni and Terence Vancooten - or a similarly athletic ball-player in the middle, Jonathan Tomkinson - letting in a mere four goals in that sequence.

Points per game projections suggest 81 points will suffice for automatic promotion, so Steve Evans' side need approximately 26 from their remaining 19 games, which on paper looks achievable - even with four play-off candidates coming up in their next five games.
