The Championship season kicks off on Friday when Luton Town meet Middlesbrough.
So, ahead of the 2019/20 campaign, here’s everything you need to know.
Leeds are currently favourites with the bookmakers and will surely bother the top few places.
Bristol City are consistently there or thereabouts, Derby will be hoping to continue on last season’s fine form with Philip Cocu now at the helm, Brentford have added some great signings to an already stacked squad.
And an outsider? How about Luton.
Neither Barnsley nor Wigan look good enough to stay up and this could finally be the season that Reading wave their goodbyes to the Championship.
Leeds teenager Jack Clarke can prove just why Tottenham splashed out £12m, Hull’s Jarrod Bowen is a brilliantly exciting winger, while Joe Roden at Swansea can be their new Ashley Williams.
In a division where very few clubs have actually spent any money this summer, it’s Brentford who have really opened their chequebook and signed some real quality for decent amounts of cash.
We can’t wait to see how Christian Nörgaard, Mathias Jensen and Pontus Jansson all get on.
Brentford (H)
The colourway, the badge, the simplicity. It’s glorious.
Charlton (H)
Pinstripes. Enough said.
Huddersfield (H)
Ignore the ‘banter’, this is just a lovely, lovely kit.
Blackburn (A)
All over the place. And that colour’s shocking too.
Hull (H)
90s nostalgia has gone too far now.
QPR (A)
Unlike its west London surrounds, this away shirt just looks cheap.
