For the second year in a row sporting fans from the city of Exeter have descended on the capital at the end of the football and rugby seasons.
Last year Exeter Chiefs defeated Wasps at Twickenham to win Rugby Union's Aviva Premiership, which they failed to retain this year after losing to Saracens, and now Exeter City find themselves needing to beat Coventry City, whose Ricoh Arena home is shared with Wasps, to win the League Two play-off final.
Whilst the Chiefs were celebrating Premier League glory in 2017, the Grecians succumbed 2-1 to Blackpool in what was their first appearance in the play-offs as a Football League club and they will be looking to erase the memory of that occasion by going one better.
City can also draw inspiration of their promotion from the Conference under Paul Tisdale in the 2007-08 season. After losing 2-1 to Morecambe in the 2006-07 final, the Grecians went one better a year later when they beat Cambridge United 1-0, with player-coach Rob Edwards getting the vital goal.
Meanwhile their opponents Coventry City - managed by former Manchester United striker Mark Robins - are looking to kickstart a revival of their own. The Sky Blues, who won the FA Cup in 1987 and were a Premier League club as recently as 2001, achieved their first top-six finish in any division since 1970 by finishing sixth in the League Two table this season.
They will also be aiming to win their first promotion since the late Jimmy Hill led them into the top-flight, which proved to be the start of their 34-year spell, in the 1966-67 season.
The game will also be the last game in professional football for Grecians Director of Football Steve Perryman, who will be retiring after spending 50 years in the game. There is also speculation that it could be Tisdale's last as manager, with his contract set to expire in November and there has been no word regarding an extension of it.
