Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping they can replicate their play-off semi-final second leg performance against Peterborough United when they come up against Barnsley on Monday.
After two seasons away, Wednesday have the chance to win promotion back to the Championship against a Barnsley side that have been consistent this season and will be looking for an immediate return to the second tier themselves.
Darren Moore’s side showed their best and worst against Peterborough. They face a tough test against Barnsley and were not able to overcome their South Yorkshire rivals in the two league fixtures, losing 4-2 at Oakwell and 2-0 at Hillsborough.
With Barnsley having a strong season themselves, they will boast a number of threats for Wednesday on Monday.
Who is Barnsley’s biggest threat to Sheffield Wednesday?
FLW’s fan pundit Callum Maxted has assessed the biggest threats posed to Wednesday ahead of the play-off final.
He said: “Luca Connell definitely, I think he’s someone who’s that bit of quality, he’s the spark and makes them tick.”
“If you can get someone on him and shut him down and help defend, he’s the one the that will have that bit of quality that Barnsley have got in the two games I’ve seen him in.
