Owls and Tigers head south for footballs richest game

Last updated : 27 May 2016 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday face Hull City at Wembley on Saturday with the lucrative prize of a place in the Premier League up for grabs with the financial rewards worth more than ever before, up to a reported £200M.

Wednesday have a fully fit squad to choose from and are unlikely to make too many if any changes to the starting 11 that saw off Brighton in the semi-finals. On-loan Everton winger Aiden McGeady has joined up with the EIRE international side having been told he will not feature but strikers Atdhe Nuhiu and Lucas Joao along with midfielder Sam Hutchinson may come into contention.

Hull have a major doubt over first choice goalkeeper Alan McGregor who missed the semi-final win over Derby due to a back injury and Eldin Jakupovic will continue to deputise if McGregor fails to prove his fitness.

Midfielders Sam Clucas and David Meyler will both be hoping for a return to the starting 11.finis

Hull finished ahead of the Owls by 9 points in the final Championship table but the sides were very evenly matched in the 2 games against each other, drawing 1-1 at Hillsborough then 0-0 at the KC Stadium when Wednesday had Fernando Forestieri harshly sent off.
