It’s often referred to as the most lucrative game in the English calendar, and it will certainly mean the most to these sets of players, as Brentford and Swansea go head to head for a place in the Premier League.

The Bees went close last year, only to be denied at Wembley by Fulham, and they’ll be desperate to go one better this time around and take their spot in the top flight.

Swansea themselves have already outdone last year’s exertions, when they reached the play-offs but lost out in the semis - to Brentford, of course.
