Premier League referee Simon Hooper will be in charge of Sunderland's clash with Wycombe Wanderers in the League One play-off final. Hooper will be the man in the middle at Wembley, with Adam Crysell and Craig Taylor his assistants.

The fourth official will be Tim Robinson, and the reserve assistant referee will be Greg Read. VAR will be used in the final, and the video assistant referee will be Lee Mason.
