Team News

Coventry
Luton
  • The headline news for Coventry is that Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Hamer should be fit to start after carrying a minor knee injury through the second-leg play-off semi-final win against Middlesbrough.
  • Mark Robins will opt for a more attacking system for the play-off final with Matt Godden returning up top and Josh Eccles starting in an attacking midfield role.
  • Kasey Palmer and Tyler Walker are both back in training, but it remains to be seen whether they will feature in the matchday squad on Saturday afternoon.
  • Callum O'Hare and Fabio Tavares are both confirmed absentees for the play-off final.
  • Rob Edwards could have a fully-fit squad at his disposal on Saturday afternoon as Luton battle for a place on the biggest stage.
  • Striker Cauley Woodrow is the only injury concern for the visitors, although his place in the matchday squad is far from guaranteed if he does pass his late fitness test.
  • The Hatters will likely line up unchanged when they step out onto the Wembley turf with Gabriel Osho and Jordan Clark set to start ahead of Reece Burke and Allan Campbell.

Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • Gustavo Hamer kept a cool head to score the only goal of the game last Wednesday as Coventry beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at the Riverside to secure their place in the play-off final. The Sky Blues executed their game plan to perfection over the two legs against Boro, keeping two clean sheets against a free-scoring side. Mark Robins will rely on Hamer and top scorer Viktor Gyökeres to make the difference underneath the Wembley arch.
  • Luton recovered from an underwhelming first-leg display to claim a deserved 2-0 win in front of a jubilant Kenilworth Road crowd last week, clinching their place at Wembley at Sunderland's expense. The Hatters have been unstoppable from set pieces during the play-off campaign and have scored inside the opening 11 minutes of both semi-final fixtures. Given Coventry's shaky track record after going behind this season, a fast start at Wembley could see Luton claim their place in the Premier League.
