This week the contestants were confirmed for the '£200million' match with Aston Villa facing Derby County in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Monday 27th May, with the small matter of a place in the Premier League next season up for grabs for the victorious side.

Villa booked their place at Wembley with a penalty shoot-out win over West Brom in their semi-final, whilst the Rams saw off Leeds United in an epic encounter at Elland Road on Wednesday night.

So what are the early score predictions for this hugely important match?

We discuss........

George Dagless

"Right now, Villa.

"I have to say I was hugely impressed with Derby at Leeds and if they do that again they will be causing Villa problems.

"Villa have the experience and the talent to get it done, though, and I think they will."

Louie Chandler

"I fancy the Rams.

"Villa did not look good in either of their play-off matches against West Brom aside from 20 minutes at the end of the first leg.

"Derby, on the other hand, looked excellent and fancy them to go at Villa from the off."

Gary Hutchinson

“Villa all the way for me.

“It depends which Derby turn up of course, but I think Villa have too much quality.

“I never thought these two would contest the final, in February both were out of sorts.

“If Villa do go up, they might give Dean Smith the keys to the city.”
