Sheffield United and Sunderland are set to do battle in just a few days’ time for the final play-off spot.
The Championship play-off final is dubbed as one of the ‘most expensive games in football’, with both clubs expected to earn millions if promoted to the Premier League.
Chris Wilder will be hoping to end the Blades’ worrying record of never being promoted via the play-offs and Sheffield United seem to be the favourites for the game at Wembley Stadium.
Wilder himself has never lost in the play-offs though, giving supporters hope that they can end their blues against Sunderland.
It’s expected to be a sold-out Wembley Stadium this weekend and with 90,000 fans in attendance, a warning has been issued to fans of the Yorkshire club.

Sheffield United fans could face disruption during travel to London
Fans travelling from Sheffield will be subjected to disruptions due to engineering works on the Midland Main Line, between Sheffield and London.
Due to the route going through Bedford being closed, Blades fans are being advised to take an alternative route.
A joint statement from East Midlands Railway (EMR) and London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has said the quickest route to Wembley Stadium is via Doncaster.
“The quickest route for Blades fans travelling from Sheffield to London on Play Off Final weekend is now via Doncaster with LNER to London King’s Cross. However, trains are expected to be extremely busy.
“To help as many fans get to Wembley, LNER has worked to provide some additional services on Saturday 24 May. An extra 2025 northbound departure from London to take fans home is now on sale.
“LNER is working with Network Rail to add a morning southbound departure from Doncaster to London King’s Cross, with a time still to be confirmed. LNER has also added a total of 600 extra seats on the 0758 and 1047 southbound departures from Doncaster.”
