It's always billed as the football match with the biggest prize, such are the riches on offer with a place in the Premier League. Like it or not, the financial gap between the top flight and the EFL means even just one season among the elite 20 can make a huge difference to any club.
Sunderland are among the four sides with a chance to book their place in the Premier League next term, and take a 2-1 advantage into tonight's semi-final second leg at Luton Town. Manager Tony Mowbray knows his side will have a tough challenge tonight, but the Wearsiders remain confident they can make it Wembley.
Awaiting them will be either North East rivals Middlesbrough or Coventry City. The two sides drew 0-0 at the Ricoh Arena in the first leg, with the return game taking place at the Riverside on Wednesday, May 17.
