The £140m Match
At 3pm today, we will see the English Championship's 3rd a 4th place teams face-off in a match that is estimated to be worth between £135m and £265m to the winner (source), joining the Super Canaries in the Premier League next season.
Brentford v. Swansea
The 2 teams met in the semi-final last season with Brentford coming through victorious, before losing to Fulham in the final. In Ivan Toney, they have another player who I would love to see in the Premier League with Ollie Watkins and Said Benhrama both doing well having left last season. They drew both matches this season 1-1 so it will definitely be a close match.
Both teams play superb, possession based football which will be great to see in the Premier League so whoever gets promoted have a chance of surprising a few people. Having never been in the Premier League before, I would love to see Brentford win today.
For an in depth preview, Benjamin Bloom has previewed the match below.

Who do you think will win?
My grandad was a big Brentford fan and would've been alive the last time they were in the top flight. So I've always had a soft spot for them and am so pleased to see them get promoted.
I hope so. I'd love to see them do well.
