Championship Preview: Who's going to get promoted?

The Championship is one of the most exciting leagues in the world. This season promises to be no different. Have a read of the teams that could be in contention for the Premier League

Sheffield United

Last season was a disaster for Sheffield. Finishing bottom of the Premier League and changing their manager half way through the season. They did have some positives though. Beating Manchester United was a definite highlight. On their return to the Championship, they will be hoping for a good start a chance to banish the nightmares of that Premier League campaign.

 

Bournemouth

Their second season back in the Championship. Bournemouth will certainly be one of the favourites to gain promotion but will need to make their home ground a fortress again. 

West Brom

Another team relegated looking to bounce straight back. Despite relegation, who will ever forget their 5-2 over future European champions Chelsea. What they will be looking for is stability at managerial level. Valérien Ismaël leads them into the new campaign.

Fulham

Like West Brom, they appear to be experts at getting out of the Championship. They will certainly be another one of the favourites to gain promotion. Can they do automatically though? They went up via the play-offs in 2020. The video below shows off all their goals from their last promotion campaign. 

Outsiders

QPR

This would be a shock but they've put in some good performances in pre-season. This included a 4-2 win over Manchester United. They potentially have the makings of a decent squad but will need to improve their consistence if they want to improve on last season's 9th position.

There' heroic defending against Italy, late drama against Greece and a memorable night in Munich. Keep reading for more memories Italy 0 - 0 England - Qualification for France 98 is secured England only needed a point from their final match to qualify for the following summer's World Cup. Easier said than done when that final match is Italy away.  A battling and sometimes heroic display from the Three Lions earned them a 0-0 draw and qualification was secured. Not a lot of flair from the attacking players but the point was well deserved. Watch some of the highlights from the game in the video below. Germany 1 - 5 England - Even Heskey scored Germany had beaten England at the start of the end of the qualifying campaign. A disappointing end to the reign of Kevin Keegan and an awful way to say goodbye to the old Wembley S...

Who won the Transfer Window?

The transfer window is closed until January 1st.  Who had the best window though? Were there any major losers? Manchester United United strengthened their defence with the signing of Varane and brought some extra quality with the signings of Jadon Sancho and the returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo. Critics would argue that they are still a world class defensive midfielder away from leading the charge in domestic and European competitions. Click here for more news on Manchester United Manchester City The signing of Jack Grealish was great but many would argue that their lack of proven goalscorer could prove costly. Although others would point out that they have just scored ten in two matches so who needs a centre forward? Chelsea The European champions are now many people's favourite to win the Premier League after their additions. They proved their attacking quality against Arsenal but proved they can defend well after they earned a point at Anfield despite spending more than h...
