Huge EFL decision for Nottingham Forest's play-off semi-final vs Sheffield United revealed

The EFL has come to a decision regarding the use of VAR within the upcoming Championship play-off semi-finals, which will see Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest take on Sheffield United.

The Telegraph reported last week that clubs who were still in contention to achieve a spot in the play-offs to compete for promotion to the Premier League had been questioned over the use of VAR, to which the response was overwhelmingly positive.
