The teams relegated from the Premier League last season will be looking to bounce straight back to the top flight so keep a close eye on Sheffield United, Fulham and West Brom this season.

Sky Bet Championship Winner Betting Tip 2022/23
The Championship is renowned for being one of the most competitive and unpredictable leagues in the world, and this year is going to prove no different. Fulham were last seasons Champions, bouncing back from relegation from the Premier League the previous season. The three relegated sides from the Premier League; Norwich, Watford and Burnley will look to repeat that fete, although it will be no easy task.
Norwich are the current ante-post market leaders (6/1 Bet365), and that price highlights that there doesn’t appear to be any one team who will run away with the league this season in the same fashion Fulham did the last. I have a feeling that Norwich will once again be heavily reliant on Teemu Pukki, their star Finnish striker. Pukki scored 11 Premier League goals in a struggling side last term and fired them to promotion the year prior by leading from the front with 26 league goals. Should he remain fit all season and continue that form, Norwich will be feared to live up to their name as a ‘yo-yo club’ and bounce straight back to the promised land.
My selection, however, will be the least fancied relegated side looking at the current ante-post prices in Burnley (12/1 Bet365). They are currently an extremely eye-catching price to return to the Premier League and at that price are too big to turn down. Like any relegated sides, they do of course come with risks attached. They have a new manager in Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany, who will be plying his trade from a managerial perspective for the first time in England. That means that there is an unknown element in terms of the style of football that Burnley will play, as they have never been a side known to play sexy football.
Burnley have lost some key figures in goalkeeper Nick Pope to Newcastle and centre back James Tarkowski to Everton, however, have made some shrewd signings with Kompany using his Manchester City contacts. Two highly rated centre backs have signed from the Premier League Champions in CJ Egan-Riley and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, the latter having a successful loan spell at Stoke City last term. The key to their season however will be Scott Twine. Twine attracted plenty of interest from Championship clubs this summer after an extremely impressive season with MK Dons in League One, scoring 20 goals in 45 games. Burnley managed to beat other rivals to his signature. I can see the versatile forward being Kompany’s main man in their bid for an instant return to the Premier League.
Others to note are Watford (7/1 Betfred), West Brom (9/1 Bet365/Betfair/PP) and Sheffield United (10/1 Bet365/Bet Victor), who are all fancied to be in the mix come next May.

Sky Bet Championship Promotion Tip 2022/23
Many sides will fancy their chances of promotion to the Premier League, including the likes of Norwich & Watford who have some top-quality and proven Championship players. Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion also have a strong chance, as well as Burnley who I’ve tipped to win the league this year.
My selection here is Sheffield United (7/2 Bet365). Paul Heckingbottom’s men rallied into the play-offs last season but fell short to the subsequent winners in Nottingham Forest. They have some excellent players in their ranks and have added a mixture of experience and youth to their side in new signings Ciaran Clark & Tommy Doyle, who join from Newcastle United & Manchester City respectively on season-long loans.
They will look to make Bramall Lane a fortress once more this season, having won 13 of their 23 home games last season. Should the core of their squad remain fit all season, I fancy them to go one better this term and bounce back to the Premier League for the first time since relegation in 2021.

Sky Bet Championship Relegation Tip
As we know, the Championship is an almost impossible one to call. I’ve taken a look at a few sides who may well struggle this year and put forward one value selection.
Birmingham City (9/4 LiveScore Bet) – Once an established Premier League side and the League Cup Winners in 2010/2011, the Midlands team have spent the last 11 seasons plying their trade in the Championship. Things have been far from plain sailing for them since their ‘glory days’, and it could well be the year that they finally plummet to the lows of League One.
In the last 3 seasons, Birmingham have finished 18th, and 20th on 2 occasions. Manager Lee Bowyer has left the club and has been replaced by the inexperienced John Eustace, who takes his first managerial position having been assistant manager at fellow Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers.
They’ve hardly set the world alight in terms of summer transfers, and Blues fans should be very concerned that the current crop of players they have won’t be good enough to see them avoid relegation this year.
