@TheAthleticFC 6th travels to 5th one leg, winner 5th/6th travels to 4th one leg and winner plays 3rd at Wembley. All positions proportionately rewarded for league finish, you should not have the opportunity of promotion to the Premier League for finishing 8th in the Championship.

Clubs in the English Football League are set to vote on plans to expand the Championship play-offs to six teams at an extraordinary general meeting on March 5.
The proposal would follow a similar format to the National League play-offs, with the team that finishes fifth playing the eighth-place team and sixth meeting seventh in one-off ties at the home ground of the higher finishing club.
The winners would then progress to a two-legged semi-final tie against the teams who finished in third and fourth, before the final at Wembley for a place in the Premier League.
The aim is to reduce the number of meaningless games towards the end of the season, add two more high-profile games to the calendar and give more clubs a shot at promotion.
