The four teams competing in the Championship play-offs were confirmed on Saturday afternoon as we now know that Huddersfield will take on Luton and Nottingham Forest face Sheffield United for a place at Wembley.

Few would have picked those four teams at the start of the season, with Luton especially a surprise package as they aim to reach the Premier League for the first time ever.

The other three teams have all played in the Premier League before and are hoping to join automatically-promoted Fulham and Bournemouth in a return to the top flight.

As is always the case, the team that finished third (Huddersfield) plays sixth (Luton) and fourth (Forest) meets fifth (Sheffield United) in the two-legged semi-finals. Then the winners go on to scrap it out at Wembley in one match for promotion.
