Sutton United

Rotherham United take on League Two Sutton United in the Papa John's Trophy final at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.

The 30-year-old had a performance to forget against Shrewsbury Town last time out, and he could well be replaced ahead of today’s tie. The U’s are in 10th place of the fourth tier and are eyeing a play-off season following their promotion from the National League last season. This isn’t performance-based, but Huddersfield Town loanee Edmonds-Green could make way from the starting XI. The 23-year-old has struggled with injuries in the past few months and hasn’t really got into the side since returning.

Report and free match highlights from the 2021/22 Papa Johns Trophy final between Rotherham and Sutton at Wembley Stadium as extra time goals from Chiedozie ...

Extra-time was a little step too far for us and it's just gutting we couldn't see that through to win the trophy. Matt had a really organised team and, in fairness, I thought they were braver than us for the first half, we just looked really nervous and I don't know why. The long-serving Sutton midfielder swept home just after the break to restore his side's deserved lead and set them on the way to silverware in their first season as an EFL club. I thought second half we were a lot better and created enough chances to get back in it. And they were not prepared to rest on their laurels thereafter. But it soon became clear that was not the way proceedings were going to unfold.

Rotherham twice came from behind and needed a stoppage-time goal to send the Papa John's Trophy final to extra-time, where their class showed as they saw ...

The 2022 Papa Johns Trophy belongs to Rotherham United after a topsy-turvy 4-2 win over Sutton United at Wembley. For much of the contest EFL debutants ...

And again in 2017, when they beat Leeds United en-route to a last-16 meeting with Arsenal. Nevertheless, this game and indeed their run to the final continues a fine association with knock-out football for Sutton. The club wrote its name into footballing folklore when in 1989 they sealed a famous FA Cup win over Coventry City, then in the top flight and cup winners two years prior. This represented the South Londoners’ fourth trip to the National Stadium, but their first in a whopping 41 years. Add in this superb run in the EFL Trophy, in their first-ever taste of the tournament, and you cannot help but be staggered by Sutton's rise in recent years. They are attempting to seal promotion and maintain a quite remarkable yo-yo existence in recent years. They led 2-1 going into stoppage time only for Rotherham to level and send the game to extra time.

English football has welcomed global celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds and Tom Brady to its games this season, but neither quite compare to Paul Chuck.

The Queen may have dished out the Jules Rimet trophy to Bobby Moore in 1966 but Chuckle on a moped? The underdogs then saw the inevitable happen, as a Rotherham side in the ascendancy added two extra-time goals to win 4-2 and lift the prize delivered to them by one of the Chuckle brothers. The 74-year-old headed towards the touchline with the Papa John’s trophy on the back of the moped.
