Championship Preview
Friday, 9th May 2008 18:06

With the league season now complete, LFW takes a brief look at the Championship play offs.

So a chance to join West Brom and Stoke in the Premier League next season is at stake and over the next week, two of the four teams will be travelling to Wembley for the winner takes all final on the 24th May.

On Saturday its 4th v 3rd as Palace take on Bristol City at Selhurts Park. It's been a great season for the Robins and many, myself included, didn't think they could last the pace and it wasn't until recently, that they finally fell out of the top two. The Eagles however, have been completely transformed since Neil Warnock took over the reigns as Manager and have been on tremendous form.

Onto Sunday, which sees 6th take on 3rd as Watford take on Hull at Vicarage Road. The Hornets made the play offs by the skin of their teeth and have been on a serious wobble since Christmas. Hull on the other hand, have been on a storming run and it wasn't until the last game that their fate was finally decided. However, there seems to have been a 'thing' about the team finishing 6th going on to win the final. But this time, I fear Watford's luck will finally run out and I am going for Hull to be too strong for them over the two legs.

Out of the sides in the top six, I think Palace are the form side and for that, I am going for a Palace v Hull final at Wembley in 2 weeks time.

Good Luck to all four sides!
