Per the Times' Oliver Kay, a victory on Monday could be worth up to £170 million to the winner:

It's an incredible opportunity for the teams that finished in fifth and sixth place in the Championship but took care of business once the play-offs started.

Derby lost 1-0 at home to Leeds in their semi-final first leg, but a 4-2 spectacle at Elland Road booked their spot at Wembley.

Jack Marriott was the hero, scoring two goals: the equaliser just before half-time and the goal that secured the win. Coach Frank Lampard also received plaudits after the contest:

Scott Malone was sent off in the dying minutes, and he will be suspended for the final. Per WhoScored.com, Curtis Davies and Craig Forsyth remain absent through injury, while Craig Bryson could return to fitness in time for the final.

James Chester and Orjan Nyland won't feature for Villa, and loanee Axel Tuanzebe is a doubt after picking up a knock in the second leg of their semi-final triumph over West Bromwich Albion.

Villa won the first leg 2-1 before losing the return 1-0, setting up a penalty shootout. Tammy Abraham got the winner for the visitors, while Jed Steer saved two penalties in the shootout.

The stopper explained he was well prepared for the occasion:

Villa have plenty of experience in the squad and played in last year's play-off final, losing to Fulham. They had a clear edge over Derby during the regular season, winning both matches by a combined score of 7-0.

Derby star Mason Mount didn't feature in either of those matches, however, and stopping the talented Chelsea loanee will present quite the challenge for the Villans.

Abraham remains the danger man for Villa, with three goals and an assist in his past four outings. He scored 25 goals in the regular season, 10 more than Derby's top scorer, Harry Wilson.

Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Derby
