Blades against the Black Cats at Wembley in battle to join Leeds and Burnley in Premier League
The Championship play-off final takes centre stage this afternoon as Sheffield United and Sunderland clash at Wembley Stadium. After automatic promotion earned by Leeds and Burnley respectively, the 20th and final slot in next season’s Premier League is up for grabs in the so-called ‘richest game in football’, always an incredibly tense affair that is worth in excess of £200m to the winning club.
Chris Wilder’s Blades – who will be in red and white this afternoon – are bidding to bounce straight back to the top-flight after a miserable relegation with only 16 points last term, while Regis Le Bris’ Black Cats are looking to get back there for the first time since a 10-year stint ended in 2017.
