What have the managers said?

Coventry were remarkably rock-bottom of the Championship and without a win at the start of October. However, Mark Robins would go on to orchestrate a stunning transformation, leading his troops to a top-6 finish on the final day.

After beating Middlesbrough in the semi-finals, Robins told the BBC:

"People talk about journeys, where we've come from. It's one for the romantics. Luton have come from the National League. I remember it well; Mick Harford in charge, 30-point deductions, it's been a tough road for them but it's been a tough road for us and we've got our own tales of woe from over a number of years.

"Hopefully we can build into a game and have a really good go at getting back into the Premier League. We're one game away, they're one game away. To be part of that game is fantastic."

Robins will come up against Luton boss Rob Edwards who started the season at Watford, only to be ruthlessly sacked in September. He returned to the dugout in November after he was selected as the manager to replace Nathan Jones at Luton.

"We're one game away from the Premier League. It sounds special, it sounds surreal saying it," Edwards told BBC Sport after leading his side to Wembley.

"We are, it's a fact. And I'm really, really happy. The fans were great, and we needed them. They got the atmosphere going before kick-off. When the staff came in after the warm-up they said the atmosphere was really, really good.
