Aston Villa booked their place in the Championship play-off final on Tuesday night and will be joined by either Leeds United or Derby County.
Villa had to rely on penalties to get past West Brom as they booked their place in the final for the second consecutive season.
Leeds take a slender one goal lead into their second leg thanks to Kemar Roofe’s strike in the first game at Pride Park.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side hold the advantage going to Elland Road for the second leg on Wednesday, with commentary live on talkSPORT from 7:45pm.
Roofe has been ruled out and there is likely to be changes from both sides for the game due to injuries and players returning from suspension.
Here is how the two teams could line-up for that match.
