The Championship play-off final will be contested between Reading and Swansea on the 30th of May at Wembley stadium.

The winner will gain a place in the Premier League next season competing against the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.

The loser will be quickly forgotten and have to cope with the mental pain of falling at the final hurdle.

Apart from the prestige the game has a huge financial implication for each of the clubs, with the winner expected to pocket over £90m in additional revenue, the final has been touted as the most lucrative game of football in the world.

Swansea

After overcoming Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals, Swansea will be aiming to make history and become the first Welsh club to play in the Premier League.

Playing an attacking brand of passing football the Swans will enter the tie as slight favourites.

 With a quality goalkeeper and balanced side, the Swans will be hoping that their attacking prowess will give them the edge.

Brendan Rodgers side boasts three of the most talented attacking players in the league in Nathan Dyer, Scott Sinclair and Fabio Borini all of whom are likely to be playing at a higher level next season regardless of the play-off result.

Reading

Swansea will face a Reading side full of confidence having finished the season in a rich vein of form having surged up table late in the season to secure a play-off spot.

In the semi-finals Reading overcame Cardiff with an impressive away victory in the second leg to give themselves a shot at promotion.

Relegated in 2008 the Royals will be looking to their star players including the highly rated Shane Long to return them to the Premier League.

As the game approaches ChampionshipTalk will be looking at what this would mean to both sides and how their fans are preparing for Wembley.
