New employer – Background checks

Hi, I’ve recently got an offer and signed for a new employer. They’re doing my background check and I wanted to know what they’ll be checking as it’s kinda making me anxious. More specifically I wanted to know what they ask my previous employer(global investment bank) was made redundant from this role. So far they haven’t asked me for references/contacts but the 3rd party company asked me for permission to contact my old employer for references. What will they ask? Bit anxious as I didn’t get along with my second last Line manager and I’m scared they could potentially give a bad reference hindering my new offer, which I’ve worked so hard for? Anyone got any advice?
