A place in the Championship is up for grabs at Wembley, in a match football fans the length and breadth of the country are calling “the only game that’s on today”.

Over 60,000 fans, two thirds of them wearing the blue and white of Wednesday, are expected to make the trek to London for this afternoon’s final and if it’s as tense as the two that preceded it this Bank Holiday weekend, not a fingernail will go unbitten on an occasion from which one set of players, backroom staff and supporters will travel home jubilant and the others in a world of pain. Kick-off is at 3.00pm (BST) but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.

Barnsley manager Michael Duff has a fully fit squad to choose from and may well opt for the same team that edged past Bolton Wanderers by the only goal of the game in the semi-final second leg at Oakwell.

Key events

30 min: Nicky Cadden wins a corner for Barnsley, putting the ball out of play off Callum Paterson. The ball comes in and is cleared, but only as far as Cadden. He blasts over the bar from a few yards outside the penalty area.

28 min: Barry Bannan slides in to put a wonderful ball up the touchline towards Devante Cole from Nicky Cadden out for a throw-in down by the technical areas.

27 min: OK, water it is, then, seeing as we’re all on duty. Play resumes.

24 min: A little over a quarter way through the 90 minutes and it’s time for a scheduled drinks break due to the heat. Mine’s a G&T with plenty of ice and a slice, please. The best chance of the game so far as fallen to Wednesday defender Dominic Iorfa, who fired straight at Barnsley goalkeeper Harry Isted.

23 min: Reece James clears a cross into the Wednesday penalty area from Thomas.

21 min: Wednesday striker Michael Smith is penalised, somewhat harshly in my humble opinion. for backing into Bobby Thomas as he contested a ball forward into the Barnsley half.

19 min: Tedic chases a ball sent into the Wednesday box from deep which seems to spin backwards into his path after bouncing. He’s outmuscled by Ihiekwe after Cameron Dawson had hesitated before rushing off his line.

18 min: There’s a break in play as Tedic receives treatment for what seemed an innocuous collision with Sheffield Wednesday defender Michael Ihiekwe.

14 min: Barnsley string a few nice passes together with Luca Connell pulling the strings in midsfield. Adam Phillips skies a half-decent opportunity high over the bar after running on to a knock-down into the middle of the penalty asrea from Slobodan Tedic at the far post.

12 min: Apologies, it was Callum Paterson who went down injured after contesting that high ball with Isted. He’s passed fit to continue.

11 min: Barry Bannan sends a free-kick into the Barnsley penalty area, where Harry Isted leaps to punch clear under pressure from Lee Gregory, who goes down injured after shipping a blow to the head from the goalkeeper.

10 min: Wednesdasy defender Dominic Iorfa pounces on a knockdown in the Barnsley penalty but shoots straight at Harry Isted, who parries the ball clear. Sheffield Wednesday are starting to dominate proceedings.

8 min: A terrible defensive header from Jordan Williams sits up nicely for Barry Bannan. He takes the ball down on his chest and rifles the ball goalwards. His effort is blocked by Bobby Thomas.

7 min: Barnsley win a free-kick wide on the left. The ball is sent into the Wednesday penalty area but is far too close to Cameron Dawson, who gathers.

5 min: Wearing the bespoke protective face-mask he lost during the post-match celebrations against Peterborough, only to have it returned by a fan who’d picked it up and taken it home as a souvenir, Lee Gregory is unable to get to a cross swung into the Barnsley penalty area by Callum Paterson. Barnsley goalkeeper Harry Isted claims comfortably at his near post.

3 min: On the touchline, Darren Moore drinks thirstily from a water-bottle as his team take a throw-in halfway inside their own half. No chances to report on so far.

2 min: Another free-kick for Barnsley, for a foul on Herbie Kane by Wednesday midfielder Liam Palmer. It’s quite the physical battle already.

Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday is go …

1 min: Sheffield Wednesday get the ball wrong on a beautiful day at Wembley and play it straight back to goalkeeper Cameron Dawson, who lumps it forward. Michael Smith leads with his arm in a challenge on Mads Andersen and concedes a free-kick to Barnsley. He avoids a yellow card and is perhaps lucky to do so.

Not long now: Led by their managers, both sets of players walk out on to the Wembley sward, the players of Barnsley in red shirts, their opponents in blue and white stripes. The last of the pre-match formalities are under way and kick-off is just a national anthem, a few handshakes, a coin-toss, a few more handshakes and a shrill blast of referee Tim Robinson’s whistle away.

Michael Duff: The youngest side in the Championship goes up against the oldest today and Barnsley’s Tykes are living up to their nickname with an average of 24 compared to Wednesday’s 29. Michael Duff doesn’t think his team’s comparative inexperience will stand against them today.

“They’ll have 1,000s more games than us and that might help them, it might not,” he said in an interveiw with BBC Radio Sheffield. “Our youth and naivety might help us. I’m not concerned about anyone freezing. It might happen but it could happen with older players as well. It’s a one-off occasion and whoever can handle it best.

“We talk about youthfulness, intensity and quality. That’s the strapline we’ve used for this team all season. If we can bring all three to the party on Monday then we have got a good chance.”

Darren Moore: Dubbed “so special” by Pep Guardiola in the wake of their team’s unbelievable semi-final comeback from four goals down, Sheffield Wednesday fans are expected to outnumber their Barnsley counterparts by two to one at today’s Wembley showdown. ““It’s nice,” Moore told the Sheffield Star.

“I want the club to get those accolades and the words about the supporters. We know nationally the game reached so many people nationally because of the excitement the game brought. Internally we were just managing the game but externally it hit all sorts of communities and people that in the modern world of social media and so on, have a platform. When they speak, a lot of people listen, so it’s great to hear some of the views expressed towards the football club on that night. It was a special moment for us as a football club.”

In the immediate aftermath of the mother of all comebacks against Peterborough, Moore told his players to enjoy their evening but was quick to remind them that there’s more work to do. We shall find out this evening if this storied club’s players have it in them to put their collective shoulder to the wheel for one last effort against their comparatively impoverished rivals. Sheffield Wednesday skipper Barry Bannan earns £21,000 per week, while the average wage of Barnsley’s players is seven times less.

Match preview: “The 80th iteration of this South Yorkshire derby will contain more spice than any of its predecessors and it is a reminder, too, of the sky high standards set in this season’s third tier,” writes Nick Ames.

Early team news

Barnsley manager Michael Duff has a fully fit squad to choose from and may well opt for the same team that edged past Bolton Wanderers by the only goal of the game in the semi-final second leg at Oakwell. A 32-year-old veteran in a team whose average age is under 25, striker James Norwood was on the bench for both legs of the semi-final and will almost certainly be among the substitutes today with Devante Cole and Slobodan Tedic expected to start up front.

Darren Moore has declared a clean bill of health for his squad too and despite not having played since 11 March due to a hamstring injury, midfielder George Byers is expected to be named among the Wednesday substitutes.

Devante Cole, who doesn’t half look like his old man the former Newcastle and Manchester United striker, Andy, is likely to start up front for Barnsley today.

League One playoff final

A place in the Championship is up for grabs at Wembley, in a match football fans the length and breadth of the country are calling “the only game that’s on today”. But what a game it is, a winner-takes-all Yorkshire derby between Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday, two clubs whose home grounds are separated by just 15 miles.

Over 60,000 fans, two thirds of them wearing the blue and white of Wednesday, are expected to make the trek to London for this afternoon’s final and if it’s as tense as the two that preceded it this Bank Holiday weekend, not a fingernail will go unbitten on an occasion from which one set of players, backroom staff and supporters will travel home jubilant and the others in a world of pain. Kick-off is at 3.00pm (BST) but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.
