Even by the standards of the Sky Bet Championship, the final day of the 2019/20 provided twists and turns that nobody was expecting.

A drama-filled day still left relegation places to decide while three teams battled for the one automatic promotion spot remaining. All three failed to win and West Brom held on for a Premier League return.

Then there was the play-offs. Nottingham Forest seemed all-but-certain to finish in the top-six but saw a six-goal swing combined with other results go against them and they finished seventh. Brentford, who missed out on second place, were beaten by Fulham in the final.

The Bees start the season as 7/1 second-favourites behind Norwich and their short price is justified based on their showings across the course of the campaign. Watford are the other team to join the duo as being the only options available below 10/1.

The one thing that is striking about the 2020/21 Championship season is just how open the division is. Norwich may be fancied but there remain questions about how they bounce back following such a poor season which saw them crash out of the top-flight without putting up a fight.
