Two Championship trophies to be sent to Aston Villa and Newcastle as season reaches its climax

There will be no need for the Championship trophy to be hovering in a helicopter in between Brighton and Newcastle's ties on Sunday.

That's because the Football League actually own two trophies and are sending one to each venue, Sportsmail can reveal.

Brighton can win the title by beating Aston Villa away, while Newcastle are a point behind and meet Barnsley at home.

Brighton are top of the Championship with 92 points from 45 games this season

Football League officials are sending one trophy to Villa Park and the other to St James' Park so a ceremony can be held no matter what.
