Hull City enters the match at Wembley trying to return to the Premier League after dropping down to the Championship just last summer. Bruce recruited him from West Ham in 2014, and the midfielder said: “I think (Bruce) is happy here”.

Of his own future, he added: “I don’t know if I am staying myself yet”. “They have been helping us all season, home and away, and especially the last couple of games we played, Cardiff at home and Brighton home and away”, Loovens said.
The 55-year-old, however, was coy over whether he would still be in charge ahead of the 2016/17 season.
As for Sheffield Wednesday, they are 5/1 with the sponsors to win promotion from the Sky Bet Championship next season and 14/1 chances to do it in style by winning the title.
Manchester United missed a trick by appointing Champions League and serial Premier League victor Jose Mourinho over Championship promotion expert Steve Bruce, according to Sky Sports pundit Ian Holloway. If you were offered guaranteed promotion at the start of the season, you would say the best way to do it is Wembley.
If you’ve been following the Premier League for a while, you might recognize the goal-scorer, Mohamed Diame.
Michael Dawson hopes the tears of joy on display at Wembley help to banish the tears of despair of 12 months ago after the Tigers bounced back into the Barclays Premier League at the first time of asking. It’s always going to be hard for us because of where we are (geographically). If there is a takeover, I’ll need to know about it because a takeover usually means a new broom.
“I thought we had the better chances”. The question is, can he keep them there this time? There was difficulty around the place, but by the end of August I felt that we still had a nucleus of very good players’.
But he ranks this win over Sheffield Wednesday, courtesy of Mo Diame’s screamer, as his biggest achievement so far under the famous Arch. Hull left-back Robertson has provided vital width and an attacking threat going forward, whereas Wednesday’s Wallace has been a constant threat this season, cutting in from the right wing onto his favoured left foot to shoot at goal, and the winger possesses a good set piece delivery.
They looked more assured going forward, with driving runs from Diame – one in particular sliced the Wednesday defence like the softest cheese and ended with a shot clanking against the post – providing the most threat.
