Stick around right here to get all the live, minute-by-minute updates of this massive showdown! Wembley Stadium is locked and loaded to host an absolute blockbuster as Hull City and Middlesbrough collide in the EFL Championship playoff final, both hunting for a coveted spot in the Premier League.
The high-stakes final was originally slated to feature Hull City against Southampton, who had narrowly defeated Middlesbrough 2-1 in the semifinal. However, in a shocking twist following that match, Saints were hit with corporate espionage accusations for spying on their opponent’s training sessions. As a result, Southampton was sensationally disqualified from the playoffs, completely crushing their promotion hopes.
With automatic promotion spots already secured by league champions Coventry City and runners-up Ipswich Town, Hull City and Middlesbrough will battle it out today at Wembley for the final remaining ticket to the pinnacle of English soccer.
