Although this game is worth the excess of £160 million to the winners, the fans of these teams would be less interested in the money than they are in their team getting back into the Premier League after two years and four years absence for Villa and Fulham respectively.

Liverpool loanee, Dick Origi was the star of the show in that first leg as he scored one and set up two more goals to help the 2009 Bundesliga champions to a comfortable two goals cushion, but would that be too much for the impressive Bundesliga 2 side to…
