Leeds are favourites, I don't think there's a doubt about that.
They've had a good season, and they've had a strange season; deducted 15 points and then their manager Dennis Wise leaving to take up a post with Newcastle.
Gary McAllister took over from Wise and there was a little bit of a slump, but he has got them playing in a different way and now they play more football.
I saw Doncaster's second-leg semi-final play-off match against Southend and they completely tore Southend apart - It was a mauling. If Donny play like that again then Leeds could be in trouble.
Sean O'Driscoll's team play good passing football and that will suit Leeds, who might have a bit too much on the day - but it will be close.
Both these clubs operate on a shoe-string budget. Stockport boss Jim Gannon almost got the job by default but he has done fantastically well.
At that level any good player you have tends to be sold. Glenn Murray left Rochdale for Brighton for �300,000 in January, so you have to beg, steal and borrow for players.
David Perkins is suspended for Rochdale and he will be missed in midfield. These teams carry small squads so if you are without one or two of your best players it doesn't half make a difference.
It's great that these two clubs are going down to Wembley for a game which could be worth a lot of money.
Both sides play good football. The days in the lower leagues when a goalkeeper used to kick it 70-yards to a big centre forward are long gone so it should be an entertaining match.
