Huddersfield have the form, defensive resilience and Wembley experience but Nottingham Forest boast more potential match-winners as they try to reach the Premier League... so, who will have the edge in Sunday's £135m Championship Play-off final?

The figure seems to swell with every passing year but Sunday's Championship play-off final will be worth at least £135million to one of Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield Town.

That was the estimated windfall, over three years, calculated by accountants Deloitte in 2020 if the promoted side stays just one season in the Premier League.

If they stay up and enjoy a second campaign in the top-flight, that figure rises steeply to £265m over a five-year period. Either way, the cash is transformative.
