After what was an entertaining afternoon of EFL Championship football, the Hatters now know who they will face in the play-off semi-final.
In what will be a two-legged affair, Luton Town will take on Sunderland for a place in the EFL Championship final, at Wembley.

But, we all know the play-offs can be something of a lottery and the post below shares my biggest fear:
Please don't bottle it!

Stick to the tried and trusted Luton, a date at Wembley is there for grabbing!
