The £170m game
Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player
Coventry’s Gustavo Hamer reflects on their brilliant season and is relishing their play-off final match against Luton as the Sky Blues hope to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001.
- Victory is worth at least £170m even if the winners finish bottom in the Premier League next season.
- Based on payments from previous seasons, the side that finishes bottom of the Premier League will receive around £95m in central revenue, though this figure can change depending on how often that team is shown live on UK TV.
- Should the play-off winners be relegated they will receive just under £76m as a parachute payment – clubs who spend one season in the Premier League are only eligible for two seasons’ worth of parachute payments, which come to about £75.6m spread over two years. Teams relegated after more than one season get an extra £15m in the third year.
- Premier League survival for one season would see this figure raise to over £285m – the side that finishes 17th will net around £100m in central payments and also qualify for the extra £15m in third year of parachute payments.

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards says his side believe they can go the full distance and gain promotion to the Premier League as they get set to face Coventry in the Championship play-off final.
- This is Luton’s first ever appearance in a Football League play-off final, with their 2-0 win over Sunderland in the second leg of the semi-final their first ever victory in an EFL play-off game. They featured in two play-off finals in the non-league, failing to get promoted in either, losing on penalties to AFC Wimbledon in 2011 after a 0-0 draw and losing 2-1 to York City in 2012.
- Coventry have never lost an EFL play-off match before (W3 D2), winning their only previous final 3-1 against Exeter in 2017-18 (League Two).
- Luton are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Coventry in all competitions (W4 D5) since a 3-0 home loss in October 2017 in League Two. Both Championship meetings between the sides this term ended in a draw.
- Coventry are looking to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2000-01, when they were relegated under Gordon Strachan. They had played in 34 consecutive top-flight campaigns before that.

Pelly’s progress: How Mpanzu could make history
Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player
Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu has been with Luton Town since 2013 and has been on the Hatters’ incredible journey from non-league to potentially Premier League football, should they defeat Coventry City in the play-off final.
Sky Sports EFL Editor Simeon Gholam:
Luton Town could become the first club to go from the top flight to non-league and back again, and they’ve had one man with them on every step of their possible return to the Premier League.
Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, signed initially on loan from West Ham, and helped the club towards the Conference Premier (now National League) title in 2014.
The midfielder, now 29, has been there ever since. He has clocked up more than 300 league appearances for Luton, and has three promotions to his name. He could make it four, and make history, on Saturday.
