Sheffield United and Sunderland Battle for Premier League Promotion in Championship Play-Off Final
The highly-anticipated Championship Play-Off Final is scheduled to take place today at Wembley Stadium, with Sheffield United and Sunderland vying for a coveted spot in the Premier League.
Both clubs have a chance to secure a much-desired promotion, as the Blades aim to bounce back after a dominating performance in the play-off semi-finals, where they trounced Bristol City. Sheffield United, led by Chris Wilder, have been on a relentless promotion drive, feeling they deserve a spot in the top-flight despite narrowly missing out on the automatic promotion spots.
On the other hand, Sunderland, not having appeared in the Premier League for eight years, stands on the brink of a return to the big leagues. The Black Cats clinched their spot at Wembley by defeating Frank Lampard's Coventry in the last moments of extra-time.
