Based on the way things are currently, yes.

Just to clarify : the two teams finishing in the higher position play the second leg at their home ground to give them an advantage due to their better finish in the league.

This means it plays out like this, assuming the teams stay as they are :

A1. Derby v Leeds
B1. Boro v WBA

A2. Leeds v Derby
B2. WBA v Boro

FINAL = winner of A v winner of B in a one-off match at Wembley. If scores tied at full time, 30 mins ET is played then it goes to penalties.

Villa instead of Boro

@Scottish Leeds - I was about to post the same info,

Just to add the FA may switch A and B around once consulting with the police. Sunderland and Doncaster both in line for League 1 play offs and A first leg is also on 11th

Cant see why they would switch as we would be away at Derby in the 12.30pm kick off but then west midlands police might want to change the villa/wba game i suppose.
