Imagine Burnley and Brighton finish the season level on points, goal difference, goals scored. With our two matches this season being draws, how would the final rankings be decided? Alphabetical order, penalty shoot-out, toss of a coin or play-off before the play-off?

I tried Googling but a web search only showed results for the Champions League or EPL.

9.2 If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored. If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs, then the Clubs concerned shall play off a deciding League Match or Matches under arrangements approved by the Board on a neutral ground. The net gate money after deducting the usual match expenses shall be equally divided between the two competing Clubs. Any Club staging such a play off match shall be entitled to charge as an expense against the receipts of the match 10% of the gross gate receipts after deduction of Value Added Tax. In the event of such a match being arranged by the Board to be played on the ground of a Club which is not a member of The League, then a similar charge as an expense against the receipts of the match shall be paid by The League who shall otherwise be responsible for the financial arrangements made with the Club staging the match. These provisions shall determine the ranking of Clubs in their respective Divisions.

You might have thought so but that paragraph quoted above makes no mention of away goals being a factor in the head to head. It would be a play-off.
