How does the Championship play-offs work?

The two teams to finish top automatically qualify for Premier League next season with the the final promotion spot competed for by clubs to finish in 3-6th position.

The team to finish 3rd (Leeds United) takes on the team that finished 6th (Derby County) with 4th placed team (West Brom) to take on 5th placed team (Aston Villa) in the semi-final which will have two legs.

The winners of the semi-final stage  earn their play-off spots in the final and their chance to play Premier League next season.
