Defender MAal Benning says it won't be a problem: "There's a few thinsg we have to e aware of but it's just about playng to the whistle. We got back to the hotel and the lads are calling for bingo, so I'll be bingo calling with the players and the staff. A win today means every single one of the players who turn out for Vale today will go down as a hero, but for one player in particular - the promise of being a role model for young people means so much. A massive thank you - I hope they enjoy it and we can give them the rewards after the game" "Thank you for the tremendous support which we'll get on the day. But all that comes out the way - it's about US getting the result. The lads have been focused, we've got all the tickets and the stuff that needs to be done out the way.

Minute-by-minute updates on the action at Wembley, an all-Midlands affair. Join Barry Glendenning.

Mansfield Town central midfielder George Maris is a doubt after he was forced to sit out the second leg of his side’s semi-final win over Northampton with injury. The players of Port Vale wear white shirts, shorts and socks. 45+3 min: Port Vale advance in search of a third goal, trying to kill the game off. The ball comes back his way in a matter of seconds. 52 min: Port Vale’s Jake Taylor clips the ball to the far post and Mansfield half-clear. Free-kick for Mansfield, which is sent into the penalty are by Stephen McLaughlin. The knockdown is put out for a corner. He used to wear the No8 shirt for Mansfield Town but is managing their opponents today. 55 min: Two goals and a man to the good, Port Vale are completely dominating the early stages of this second half. Ollie Hawkins gets his second yellow soon after his first for a ridiculous late lunge on James Wilson. That is indescribably dumb by the Mansfield central defender. Kian Harratt and James Wilson scored two in the space of less than four minutes to give Port Vale a comfortable lead, before Mansfield’s Ollie Hawkins plunged his side further into the mire by getting himself sent off for two bookable offences within five minutes. 57 min: Mansfield enjoy a spell of sustained possession but still struggle to get beyond the halfway line. 63 min: Port Vale advance with James Wilson riding a couple of tackles to stumble his way through midfield.
