Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill says Huddersfield will upset the odds in the Championship play-off final... as 'the new JT' sets his sights on impressing Thomas Tuchel once he returns to Stamford Bridge

Having spent his career in the comfortable surroundings of Chelsea, Huddersfield’s on-loan defender Levi Colwill is relishing the role of underdog in today’s Championship play-off final against Nottingham Forest.

Like Tammy Abraham, Reece James and Mason Mount before him, Colwill is proof that Chelsea’s academy kids can thrive in the tougher environment of the EFL.

The 19-year-old defender, who has earned comparisons with John Terry and Rio Ferdinand, has been key to the Terriers’ unexpected promotion charge, having finished 20th last season.

Even now, not many fancy them to beat in-form Forest at Wembley in a match worth £180million to the winners.
