Hull City v Middlesbrough team news: Six out and three doubts for Championship play-off final at Wembley

All eyes will be on Hull City and Middlesbrough when they meet under the Wembley arch in this year’s Championship play-off final.

There has been plenty of focus on Southampton in the build-up given it was the Saints who were meant to be facing the Tigers.

However, having admitted to spying on Middlesbrough ahead of their first leg meeting, as well as on Ipswich Town and Oxford United earlier in the season, Southampton were removed.

Middlesbrough were reinstated and handed an opportunity to secure a place in the Premier League, one they will be looking to grab with both hands.

"There have been a lot of emotions,” said Boro boss Kim Hellberg. “It has been a crazy time.

"It has been back and forth, involving a lot of different emotions from losing the game to everything else. After the Southampton game away, with all the things that come with that, it was very tough.

“It’s been impossible to train [properly]. We had a meeting with them after the weekend, to see where we were at, but it’s been very difficult.”

Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic, meanwhile, said: "I don't know how many Middlesbrough games I've watched now – seven, I think in two days, it's okay. Maybe I will find something that is good for us.

"We prepared well for this game so that we will have a good performance. It's not about who is better, Southampton or Middlesbrough. For me, the final is a 50-50 game, no matter who is the opponent, because it's pressure, it's a big game.”

Here is a look at the team news from both camps ahead of the Championship play-off final.
