The Championship playoff final is just around the corner and with it comes the prize of being promoted to the Premier League.

It's a second appearance in as many years for Aston Villa, but they'll be looking to go one step further following last year's defeat to Fulham. But for Derby County, they'll be looking to get back into the top flight and right some wrongs from their last appearance in the Premier League.

It's set to be an outstanding encounter between two of the Championship's most exciting teams, with all eyes on who will join Norwich City and Sheffield United in the Premier League next season.
