Hull City and Middlesbrough Face Off at Wembley in the £200 Million Match

Hull City and Middlesbrough are set to clash at Wembley in the Championship Play-Off Final. This high-stakes encounter, which will determine the final team promoted to the Premier League next season, is famously dubbed the "£200 million match" due to the immense financial implications for the participating clubs.

The Championship play-offs have been marred by significant controversy. Southampton had eliminated Middlesbrough in the semi-finals and were scheduled to play in today's final. However, the Saints were disqualified from the competition following a spying scandal, granting Boro a place in the final by default.

Hull finished sixth in the regular season and then overcame Millwall in the semi-finals to reach the final. Earlier today, however, the Tigers' owner threatened legal action should his team lose this match, arguing that the decision to reinstate an eliminated team into the final was incorrect.

Hull City manager Sergei Yakirovich has named an almost identical lineup to the one that started the second leg against Millwall. He once again opts for a formation with three central defenders. The only change sees Mohamed Belloumi come in for the injured Kyle Joseph.

Kim Hellberg has also been forced into one change, with Allan Browne starting in place of Tommy Conway.
