Live Sheffield Utd vs Sunderland, 9:01 p.m. May 24: Battle for 220 million pounds

TPO - Thousands of people are flocking to Wembley to witness the most expensive match in the world. Tonight, if either of the two teams, Sheffield Utd or Sunderland, wins, the prize will be a ticket to play in the Premier League worth at least 220 million pounds.

Sheffield will be hoping to return to the Premier League after just one season in the Championship, but they have two curses to overcome. One, they have never won in their nine previous appearances in the play-offs (four finals, five semi-finals). Two, they have not won at Wembley in 100 years.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are desperate to return to the top flight after eight years in the lower divisions. Their determination to win is all the greater because the Black Cats have taken a risky gamble to chase promotion. If they fail, they will face a broken squad, debt pressure and a long time before they have a similar opportunity.

After all, the stakes of a Wembley win tonight are enough to tempt both teams to play at more than 100 per cent. Next season, a new TV deal will kick in, boosting Premier League income from £170m to £220m. That’s the minimum bonus a club will receive for playing in the top flight, excluding positional bonuses and other add-ons.
