Southampton will return to Wembley for the Championship play-off final two years after winning promotion to the Premier League via that route.
However, this season's campaign has been marred with controversy following allegations of the club spying on their semi-final opponents, which has resulted in them being charged by the English Football League (EFL).
The Saints have not denied the charge and have asked for more time to respond as they conduct an internal review.
It is unclear at this stage what happens next and if it could have an impact on the final.
