Some disastrous defending on the counter saw Brentford fall 2-0 behind on aggregate against Bournemouth in the second leg, but Thomas Frank's men capitalised on an early Chris Mepham red card, outshooting the Dorset club 18-2 on their way to a 3-1 victory on the day. The Bees will be heavy favourites for the trip to Wembley and will be keen to avoid a repeat of last season's playoff final defeat against Fulham.

Club captain Matt Grimes produced a stunning long-range effort last weekend as Swansea held Valerien Ismael's Barnsley outfit to a 1-1 draw in South Wales, booking their place in the final at Wembley. Steve Cooper's side may have been outshot 12-4 in the second leg, but the Swans looked comfortable throughout and were deserved winners of the tie. Andre Ayew and Jamal Lowe have contributed 30 of Swansea's 56 league goals this season, so success under the Wembley arch will depend on their performances.
