Sheffield United vs Sunderland: Championship play-off final date, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, prediction, h2h, odds
Sunderland will meet Sheffield United in this season’s Championship play-off final, with a place in the Premier League up for grabs at Wembley.
The so-called richest game in football will see Regis Le Bris’ Black Cats aim to secure a first season back in the promised land since 2017, with Dan Ballard’s dramatic stoppage-time header in the final seconds of extra time having secured a 1-1 second-leg draw with Coventry and 3-2 win on aggregate in their pulsating semi-final tie to spark pandemonium and a pitch invasion at the Stadium of Light.
They will be up against Sheffield United, who are bidding to return to the top-flight at the first time of asking having been relegated last season with only 16 points to their name as they finished rock bottom again and then missed out to champions Leeds and second-place finishers Burnley in the automatic promotion chase.
