"I don't think you can get better than this in the Championship," said Morgan Gibbs-White. “It's all nice finishing first and second going up but I don't think there’s a better feeling than going up in the play-offs.

"It's a special feeling, the whole process of it – two legs, a semi-final and then maybe getting to play in the best stadium in the world at Wembley. There's no other feeling like that for me.

"I haven't played the biggest stages yet and these will probably be the biggest moments of my career so far and I have belief. I can't wait to get out there.”

The Wolves loanee added: “In the play-offs anything can happen, it is what it is on the day but we're going to go into the game on Saturday wanting to win and on Tuesday, we will do the same thing. We have been in training since Monday so we're well prepared, well-planned and we just can't wait to get going.”
