Watford
• Gianfranco Zola's side qualified for this final with a last ditch goal from Troy Deeney to secure a 3-2 aggregate victory over Leicester in the play-off semi-finals.
• Watford lost out on an automatic promotion place to Hull on the last day of the regular season, and ended third, two points outside the top two.
• The Hornets have won three of their last eight in all competitions.
• The Hertfordshire club have spent six seasons at Championship level, since relegation from the Premier League in 2007.
• They have experienced two one-season stays in the Premier League and gained entry on both occasions by winning the play-offs, beating Bolton 2-0 at the old Wembley in 1999 under Graham Taylor, and Leeds 3-0 at the Millennium Stadium in 2006 under Aidy Boothroyd.
• This is their fifth play-off campaign; all four previous participations have been at this level (12 matches played - W5, D3, L4).
• Watford (85) and Crystal Palace (73) were the highest scorers in the Championship this season.
• This is the Hornets' first trip to the new Wembley, and Zola's first taste of a play-off final.
Crystal Palace
• Ian Holloway's club earned their place at Wembley after beating Brighton 2-0 in the second leg of the play-off semi-final at the Amex Stadium, having played out a goalless first leg on home soil.
• The Eagles qualified for the play-offs in fifth place - their highest finish in five seasons - two spots, four wins and five points inferior to Watford.
• They only managed one win in the last 10 matches of the regular season, but go into this Wembley showpiece unbeaten in six, having won two and drawn four since a 3-0 loss at Ipswich on 16 April.
• This is Palace's 20th match and seventh play-off campaign (W9, D2, L8).
• Palace have been promoted to the top-flight via the play-offs on three occasions.
• In 1989, Steve Coppell's side with Wright and Bright, beat Blackburn in the final over two legs, in 1997 under the same manager the Eagles beat Sheffield United 1-0 at the old Wembley with a goal from David Hopkin and in 2004, Iain Dowie's team (20th on Boxing Day 2003) beat West Ham 1-0 at the Millennium Stadium for a most unexpected promotion when Neil Shipperley was on target.
• The south-east London outfit are hoping to return to the Premier League a record fifth time, after completing four one-season stays (1992/93, 1994/95, 1997/98 and 2004/05).
• This is the fifth play-off campaign of Ian Holloway's managerial career.
• He famously took Blackpool up to the Premier League through them in May 2010, beating Cardiff 3-2 at the new Wembley. But Holloway failed to get Bristol Rovers past the semi-finals in 1998, and lost in the final with QPR at the Millennium Stadium in 2003 and again with Blackpool at Wembley in 2012.
