The road to the Premier League goes through Wembley Stadium for four clubs this season.
As the four sides who finished immediately behind the top two in the 2020-21 EFL Championship, Barnsley, Bournemouth, Brentford and Swansea will battle it out for the final spot in next season's Premier League. The semifinals are two-legged, total-goal aggregate fixtures hosted in the participating teams' home grounds, with the two victors advancing to the one-off final at Wembley at the end of the month.
The games are as high stakes as they can get, with a season in the Premier League adding tens of millions of pounds to a club's coffers.
Only one team will prevail. Who will it be?
Here's everything you need to know about the EFL Championship playoffs.
