After finishing the regular season with a 1-0 win over Derby County to finish third with a whopping 96 points, Sheffield Wednesday will play Peterborough United in the two-legged semi-final.

Peterborough extended their season and hopes of reaching the Championship after winning 2-0 at Barnsley on the final day to move above Derby and into sixth place, the Rams missing out by a single point courtesy of that defeat at Hillsborough.
