Sheffield Wednesday won the League One play-offs back in 2005, but fell flat in the 2016 and 2017 Championship play-offs.

In the first leg of this one, Ross Stewart scored the only goal as Sunderland ran out winners at the Stadium of Light.

But they’ll have it all to do to defend their lead in front of a packed Hillsborough tonight.
