Recapping last season, Chelsea won the Championship by 7 points over Spurs. Man City and Liverpool wrapped up the top 4. At the other end of the table, Hull City and Middlesbrough were one and done teams while the clock finally struck midnight on Sunderland and they were relegated. After 1 year in the Championship, Newcastle were promoted back to the Premier League as champions. Brighton & Hove Albion finally broke through and claimed the other automatic promotion spot while Huddersfield Town won the playoff. Both Brighton and Huddersfield Town are making their Premier League debuts, with neither having been in the top flight for 30+ years.
