Sheffield Wednesday will face Barnsley in the play-off final as the two South Yorkshire clubs battle it out for a spot in next year’s Championship.

The Owls had a torrid time against the Reds in League One this season, losing 2-0 at home and 4-2 away, but they’ll be hoping for a case of third time lucky when they face off at Wembley on May 29th in 10 days time.

Barnsley secured a 1-0 home win over Bolton Wanderers on Friday evening to qualify with a 2-1 aggregate victory that was enough to get the job done. Wednesday made it via a penalty shootout on Thursday following a thrilling 5-5 aggregate draw at Hillsborough.
