While replicating previous Championship campaigns will be a tall order for all three clubs, it’s hard to envisage any of them falling out of the promotion conversation. The second tier once again promises a compelling, fiercely competitive season ⚽️

🧵You only truly appreciate the Premier League’s standard when all 3 promoted sides suffer instantaneous relegation.

Ipswich ⚪🔵, Leicester 🔵🦊 & Southampton 🔴⚪ return to the Championship 🏆

The division may have plenty of competition ⚔️.

Newly promoted Birmingham City 🔵⚪ have been more League One than Championship recently, but will be tough this year alongside Sheffield United 🔴⚫ — the Blades look to rewrite Wembley woes.

Opponents here face very different challenges than in the Premier League ⚽️⬇️

Leicester 🦊 played Liverpool 🔴 in April — now, just 4 months later, they’ll watch Sheffield Wednesday 🦉 fans fly a plane over King Power 🛩️✉️ to send a message to their owner

Sheffield Wednesday’s 🦉 players have agreed to play despite off-field financial chaos 💸. Fans were worried, but the squad assured availability ✅.

Leicester 🦊 face two newly promoted sides in August — a good chance for Cifuentes’ team to start strong 💪.

Great day to be back at Boundary Park!

Harratt’s first goal, Fondop back on the scoresheet and yet another clean sheet. The play-off picture is looking pretty yet again.
