Swansea City kick off against Bradford City in the final of the Capital One Cup at Wembley at 4pm.
It is Swansea's first major cup final in the club's 100-year history, and they are 90 minutes - plus extra time and penalties if required - away from winning their first major cup, and qualifying for European football next season.
League Two side Bradford also have history on their minds. They have knocked out three Premier League teams already, and become the first team from the fourth tier to play in a major Wembley final.
The ITV Sport website has live updates on the action.
Bradford City's Wembley mascots Jake Turton and Ryan Siddall have arrived in London ready to lead out the Bantams on their big day.
Brave cancer survivor Jake, 9, has led the team out once before - when Bradford beat Aston Villa at Valley Parade in the semi-final first leg of the Capital One Cup.
But for Ryan,12, who won a gold medal in table tennis at last year's British Transplant Games after his dad donated him a kidney, today will be the first time he has led his City heroes out.
The club received special permission from the Football League to have two mascots.
Bantams fans were in high spirits as they set off for Wembley this morning.
Yesterday, we met 10-year-old Kurtis Bray, getting Swansea City's badge cut into his hair in preparation for their Capital One Cup Final.
This morning, we caught up with him - now with added face-paint - on the bus, about to leave the Liberty Stadium to head to Wembley.
Swansea City fans are gearing up for their club's first ever major cup final against Bradford City tomorrow.
This is 10-year-old Kurtis getting a 'tattoo cut' in Swansea. He'll be watching at Wembley and predicts a 2-1 win for the Swans.
Bradford City football team will be in many people's thoughts as they head to Wembley to take on Swansea in the Capital One League Cup Final.
To help them on their way, Canon Andrew Williams, at Bradford Cathedral wrote this prayer.
Lord of all people and Maker of all
We give thanks for the beautiful game, for football.
As two sides compete for the Capital One Cup
We don't ask for favour, we don't ask for luck.
We ask for The Bantams to put up a good fight
To make Bradford proud and it's people unite.
Without causing a drama or making a fuss
The Tibetan spiritual leader has pronounced blessing on us
He knows what your Son has said in the past
That the last shall be first and the first shall be last.
So Lord of all people and Maker of all
May the winner at Wembley be the game of football. Amen
