Championship play-off final: Key battles between Bristol City and Hull

Here, we outline the key clashes which could determine where the game is won or lost.  

Frazier Campbell vs Louis Carey

On-loan striker Campbell has hit the headlines this season with a succession of quality performances that have brought a return of 15 goals.

The pacy Campbell's' long-term future is unlikely to be with Hull, but the Manchester United youngster will be looking for a fine performance as he seeks to impress on the big stage.  

Facing him will be Bristol City's captain for the day, Louis Carey. The accomplished centre-back is a product of City's youth team and has grown in stature since returning to Ashton Gate after a spell with Coventry.

Michael Turner vs Michael McIndoe

Former Charlton trainee Turner has made his mark in the second tier and has continued his progress this season.

And former Hull boss Phil Parkinson described him as the best defender in League One before Hull's promotion.  

Turner will need all his skills to tame the threat of free-scoring midfielder McIndoe, who has finally settled after a nomadic couple of years which included spells with Derby, Wolves and Barnsley.

Each club clearly recognised a talent in the young midfielder, who has scored seven goals this season, but it seems Gary Johnson is the manager to finally get the most out of McIndoe and his lethal left foot.  

Wayne Brown vs Lee Trundle

Wayne Brown is in his first season with Hull, having joined the Tigers for a club-record fee of £450,000 from Colchester last July.

He settled immediately and used his strong leadership skills to become a rock at the heart of Hull's defence alongside former Us colleague Richard Garcia.  

Trundle arrived at Ashton Gate from Swansea last summer for a club record £1million, and came with a highly commendable goal-scoring record in the lower leagues of English football. Unfortunately the price tag seemed to slow Trundle down in the early months, but a goal on the last day of the season followed by a dramatic extra-time strike in the semi-final second leg against Palace could just provide the catalyst the talented forward needs.
