The Championship play-offs have been decided and we’re ready for the drama which will almost certainly unfold.
Every year, four teams battle it out to earn promotion to the Premier League and this time we have a quartet who have all had spells in the division before.
Leeds United will be attempting to return to the top-flight for the first time since 2004, while Derby County manager Frank Lampard, in his first campaign as a manager, will be hoping to come up trumps against ‘Spygate’ rival Marcelo Bielsa in one of the semi-finals.
The other sees a Midlands derby, with West Brom caretaker boss Jimmy Shan trying to engineer a defeat of in-form Aston Villa, who have been impressive in the second half of the season.
Both ties could go either way and it seems to be unpredictable every year.
But, unafraid of the odds, talkSPORT.com have fired up their famous Super Computer to predict the winners of the Championship play-offs.
You can see the results below…
