Match Preview

Hull kicked on in the final 30 minutes of their second-leg clash with Millwall in the semi-finals as two late goals sent the Tigers to Wembley and broke the Lions' hearts. Since then, uncertainty surrounding Sunday's opposition has plagued Sergej Jakirovic's preparation, but it remains to be seen how that will influence Saturday's proceedings.

Kim Hellberg's Middlesbrough side have been granted a lifeline after the EFL decided to boot Southampton out of the play-offs. That outcome avenged a 2-1 aggregate defeat that was settled in extra-time at St. Mary's Stadium.
