With the Championship looking as competitive as ever, oddschecker cast an eye over the newly-formed winner and promotion market.
Fulham and West Brom fancied to return to the Premier League
Bookmakers have released outright odds for the Championship 2021/22, with Fulham the 13/2 favourites to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Right behind The Cottagers are West Brom, who are currently without a manager and are as short as 8/1 to win the Championship but can be backed at a best price of 5/2 to gain promotion.

Who else is in the mix?
Bournemouth, who got knocked out of the play-off semi-finals to eventual winners Brentford can be backed at 10/1 to win the Championship.
New Sheffield United manager Slaviša Jokanović will be hoping the Blades can bounce back after their dismal year and can be backed at 10/1.
Steve Cooper’s Swansea will also be hoping that play-off heart break won’t happen again next year and can be backed at 14/1 to win the Championship and 9/2 to gain promotion.
Nottingham Forest (20/1), Cardiff (20/1), Stoke (20/1), Barnsley (25/1) and Middlesbrough (25/1) all follow next in the betting, with a slight gap between the top four favourites and the rest of the market.
New boys Hull can be backed at 40/1 following their domination of league one. If you fancy some longer odds, you can back Peterborough (66/1), Huddersfield (66/1) and Blackpool (100/1).
