Norwich City, Watford and Burnley will replace Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest in the second tier and all three clubs will have their eyes on an immediate return to the top flight.

Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town both reached the Championship play-offs but fell short in their promotion aims as Forest secured victory over the Terriers at Wembley.

Middlesbrough just missed out on the top six but with a full pre-season under Chris Wilder, the Teesside outfit will be more hopeful of claiming a spot in the Premier League next campaign.

Hull City finished 19th but new owner Acun Ilicali is keen to take them to the Premier League as they prepare for their first summer window under the Turkish businessman. Their ambitions this campaign will depend on how shrewd their business is during the transfer window.
