This game, which is set to be played in front of a crowd of 12,000, could be worth a staggering £178million to the side that prevails.
Swansea were in the Premier League as recently as the 2017-18 season, but Brentford haven’t been in the top flight since 1948. Which one of them will come out on top today?
