Another free kick for Forest, this time McKenna the player fouled. They will have to build from deep as the challenge came in their own half.

Possession switches hands but Forest again are the victors, Steve Cooper’s side are really building here and are turning into the dominant side. A nod must be sent to Huddersfield’s Sarr though who has been great in defence, aside from that hairy moment.

And it’s another good moment for the defender, he finds himself in a tricky situation but he draws the foul to win back possession.

Forest have a free kick as Sarr fouls Zinckernagel.

The ball sails into the box and Yates heads towards goal but it goes just wide, the best chance of the game so far!

There’s a nervous moment for Sarr as he attempts to play it back to his keeper and it’s almost nabbed. That would have been an embarrassing moment but the ball is eventually cleared.

Forest are slowly getting a hand on this game, they’ve slowed the tempo in the midfield and look to build attack. Spence works a great one two and wins a corner in the process.

Colback takes the kick but it misses the targets and goes out of play.

Yates the fouled player now, it’s a fast paced and brutal opening, and Forest take it quickly. They whallop the ball upfield with Colwill conceding a throw in.

Spence took the set-piece but it’s ran out of play and now Huddersfield are on the charge! There is no breathers in the opening stages of this final so far.

Sinani loses the ball in midfield and Colwill is forced to concede another throw in to thwart a Forest counter. Yates attempts to get an opportunity underway but his cross goes out.

Both clubs giving their all and after Forest’s early nerves, it’s an even paying field.

There’s an early free kick for Huddersfield as Thomas is fouled. The kick, taken but the fouled man, goes wide and the first chance is squandered.

Another challenge comes in on a Huddersfield, this time on O’Brien. Thomas takes the free kick again but it’s well collected by Samba.

Huddersfield have started brighter than Forest so far but they have had a break from Spence. Sarr cleared the ball with end-to-end football! What a start.

Here. We. Go!

The final is underway at Wembley, who will come out on top?

Do you have Huddersfield or Forest? We will know who has bagged Premier League football in the next 90 minutes (or more).

We are just over ten minutes away from kick-off at Wembley, how are your nerves Huddersfield and Forest fans?

It will be a nail-biting afternoon for the fans but for the neutrals it should be a cracking match at the home of English football.

The stage is set, the fans are rolling in and the players are almost out on the pitch in this fixture deciding who will be in the top flight next season.

This is what the season has been building to and we are merely minutes away...

The championship play-off final is an historic occasion and it provides the hottest ticket in town - Premier League status.

Reporter Tom Kershaw has written about the special final: “There is perhaps no single game with such intolerance of romance as the Championship play-off final. It is the sort of occasion that ought to be steeped in history, from Nottingham Forest’s arduous pursuit of glories past to Huddersfield Town’s hopes of marking the 100th anniversary of its first major trophy.

“There should be emotive storylines, narrated by old players over grainy montages, that give a game like this texture and tradition, weaving memory and context into the mayhem.

“Yet, all that goes against the sort of spectacle that is an inherently modern phenomenon. For the owners and executives, there are the unprecedented riches on offer, worth more than £1million a minute to the winning club. For the players, the travails and tumult of the previous 48 games are either vindicated or rendered heartbreakingly obsolete.

“Take those stakes and transport them in front of 85,000 yearning supporters at Wembley and what you get is a gauntlet unlike any other in English football, where the consequences of winning and losing could hardly be more exaggerated. Even for the most senior players, the scale of those margins can be hard to grapple with.”

Have you ever wondered what the financial gain for both clubs would be if they take the win this afternoon at Wembley?

Not only is there prize money for securing the victory but they will also get a piece of the pie that comes with having Premier League status.

Tim Bridge, a director in the sports business group, said: “Wembley this weekend is host to the match with the most lucrative prize in world football.

“Following a fiercely contested season, the winner of Sunday’s Championship play-off final will walk off the pitch having secured additional future revenues of at least £170million. “Promoted teams benefit from considerable financial gains which can deliver new player signings, stadium improvements and more.

“However, whilst a narrow majority of clubs promoted to the Premier League over the past decade survived their first season, half of the play-off final winners have not.

“Hence the winner of Sunday’s game will face the challenge of maintaining the excitement of fans, as well as balancing financial stability in the coming months.”

Ryan Yates’ only experience of Nottingham Forest in the big time is watching old episodes of ‘The Premier League Years’, but he is determined to get the club back there this weekend.

The midfielder, who joined the club as a schoolboy, was 18 months old when Forest were last in the top flight, but can help end a 23-year exile if his side beat Huddersfield in the Sky Bet Championship play-off on Sunday.

Yates has spent many hours watching the nostalgic show, gorging himself on Teddy Sheringham’s famous goal against Liverpool in 1992, but wants a slice of the action for himself.

“I was only 18 months old? That’s incredible really, I used to watch Premier League Years when I was younger,” he said. “I have seen it, the pictures weren’t the best back then to be fair. Times have changed a lot, so we are looking forward to creating our own history now.

“Just those players, the Teddy Sheringham goal is one that comes to mind, I have probably watched that 10 times and still watch it now, it’s a good watch.”
