Lead

 * Think a mention of Wembley Stadium being in London would be of a benefit to the reader
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Aston Villa had lost in the play-off final the previous season while Derby had failed to progress through the play-offs three times in the previous five seasons." - what about last to avoid close repetition of "previous"
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Jack Marriott in the lead is linked to the Royal Navy officer and not the footballer
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:00, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Route to the final

 * "Aston Villa were eleventh in the table heading into March and went on a ten-game winning streak," - Aston Villa standing eleventh in the table into March is not mentioned by 11v11. Please find another source that explicitly states this fact
 * Indeed, and it was wrong, so good spot. Fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Derby lost the first leg of the play-off semi-finals at home" - where exactly?
 * Added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Dallas scored his second midway" - second goal
 * Added, although not strictly necessary. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikilink Villa Park
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Gayle was sent off towards the end of the game" - what for?
 * Added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikilink penalty shootout
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Two saves from Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer allowed Tammy Abraham to score" - just plain "Abraham" will suffice since he is already mentioned a few sentences beforehand
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Background

 * We don't need to link Pride Park and Villa Park since both stadiums will be linked earlier in the article
 * Indeed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "However, Craig Bryson and Andy King were both out." - please find if possible source(s) that state exactly what both players were out of the final for
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * " but Ørjan Nyland, Tom Carroll and Jordan Lyden were all sidelined." - anything out there to state why exactly all three of these players were absent from the final?
 * "long-term injuries" is sufficient thus added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Aston Villa were considered favourites to win the match." - by whom?
 * Press and bookies, thus added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

First half

 * Wikilink free kick, offside and corner to their respective articles
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "In immediate response, Grealish's sent through a pass for El-Ghazi" - Grealish
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Second half

 * "McGinn beat him to the ball and headed the ball into the Derby net." - repetition of "ball"
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
