League One play off Final 2022: kick-off time, team news and how to watch Sunderland vs Wycombe Wanderers

Sunderland and Wycombe Wanderers are set to face off in the League One play-off Final this weekend, in a match that the former team certainly can’t afford to lose.

The Black Cats have have failed to claim a victory at Wembley Stadium since 1973, but will be confident of finally putting an end to their horrific run on Saturday afternoon as over 40,000 fans take the long journey south for their big day.

Meanwhile, Wycombe are seen as the underdogs in this weekend’s clash as they look for a swift return to the Championship.

While Sunderland have been trapped in the third tier for four years in a row now, Wanderers won two promotions to the Championship in two years under Gareth Ainsworth and will be eager to make it three in a battle that the manager has labelled ‘David against Goliath’.
