A place in the Premier League will be on the line when Brentford take on Swansea in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley today.
The Bees beat Bournemouth 3-2 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final and are now looking to go one better than a year ago, when they were beaten in extra-time in the final by west London rivals Fulham.
Swansea were also in last season’s playoffs and were knocked out in the semi-finals by Brentford, but reached the final this time around by seeing off Barnsley.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Brentford vs Swansea is scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, May 29, 2021.
The game will be played at Wembley Stadium in front of around 12,000 fans, in line with current coronavirus restrictions.
