Form Guide and Talking Points
Sheffield United
Having endured a brutal Premier League campaign in 2023–24, finishing 20th with just 16 points, Sheffield United are now one win away from bouncing straight back to the top flight. Their playoff semi-final display was emphatic, demolishing Bristol City 6-0 on aggregate.
Chris Wilder’s men secured third place in the Championship by a significant 14-point margin over Sunderland, underlining their consistency throughout the season. Impressively, they claimed 43 points on the road — second only to champions Burnley.
Gustavo Hamer, with 10 goals and 7 assists this season, will be central to United’s hopes at Wembley. He’ll look to inspire another commanding performance on the big stage.
Probable XI (4-4-2):
Cooper; Choudhury, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, Burrows; O’Hare, Peck, De Souza Costa, Hamer; Cannon, Moore
Sunderland
Sunderland’s journey back to the brink of Premier League football has been long-awaited. After years in League One, they now stand one win away from a top-flight return for the first time since 2016–17.
The Black Cats needed extra time in their semi-final against Coventry, where Dan Ballard’s 122nd-minute header secured their dramatic passage to Wembley. Despite finishing the season with five consecutive league defeats, Regis Le Bris’s side rediscovered their composure just in time.
Wilson Isidor, having ended a lengthy goal drought, appears to be hitting form when it matters most. Questions remain around the fitness of Patrick Roberts, who faces a late test ahead of kick-off.
Probable XI (4-4-2):
Patterson; Hume, Ballard, O’Nien, Cirkin; Roberts, Neil, Bellingham, Le Fee; Isidor, Mayenda
