The field is locked in for the most lucrative set of matches in English football.

With the Championship season officially coming to an end Sunday, the four clubs that will battle for promotion to the Premier League have been decided.

In a rematch of the contest that spawned the infamous "Spygate" saga earlier this season, Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds United will meet Frank Lampard's Derby County in one playoff semifinal.

The other matchup, meanwhile, sees fierce West Midlands rivals Aston Villa and West Brom clash.

Both first legs will be played on May 11, while the return fixtures are slated for May 14 and 15. The respective winners will then meet in the final on May 27 at Wembley.

One of the four aforementioned sides will join Norwich City and Sheffield United in the Premier League next season; both clinched automatic promotion to the top flight last month.
