    Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "Dwight Gayle comes in and he will take shots. Lots of shots.

    "It's an attacking set-up away from home. We won't be gung-ho but it's important to find the right balance.

    "Watford have been doing really well but we come here to knock them off their perch."

    Alex in London on 81111: Manchester City come from 2-0 down to win on penalties against Gillingham in the 1999 play off final. I was 8 years old and my uncle didn't want to leave early like the rest of the fans who'd given up hope.

    Barry Lee Duxbury: 10th time lucky for Preston in the play offs, only bettered by six weeks later watching AC/DC there. Amazing memories at that place!

    Back in the Premier League, Odion Ighalo has scored four of Watford's five league goals this season, earning the Hornets six points.

    Could he prove to be one of the surprise hits of the season?

    Wembley isn't just about finals these days either....

    Tom Cross on Facebook: Portsmouth beating Spurs in the 2010 semi-final. Massive underdogs, relegated the day before and still overcame the odds to beat them. So many sub plots as well. Amazing day.

    Dave Bewes: Bradford being outclassed 5-0 by Swansea in the League Cup final, then 3 months later dominating Northampton to win promotion.  

    Stuart Clark: Being a Swindon fan, the old Wembley was superb, played 3 won 3. 1 league cup final, 2 play off finals. Not so good at the new Wembley, played 3 lost 3.

    Alex Cook: Witnessing Palace beat Watford in 2013. After Kevin Phillips scored the penalty, I spent the majority of extra time staring at the scoreboard and wishing for the game to end!  

    Kiel Kyle Jennings: Kidderminster Harriers. First team to take the lead in a competitive game at the new Wembley. First team to lose a competitive match at the new Wembley. Mixed feelings.

    Watford manager Quique Flores - who I've still not quite decided who he looks like - is in bullish mood as he faces the TV cameras.

    He says that Palace will come at them with pace on the counter attack but his side will aim to control possession.

    I covered that game Steve! A great moment for sure - unless you support Bristol City of course. 

    Being a neutral at a play-off final can be a wonderful thing.
