Follow the politics when West Bromwich Albion take on Watford in the league today.
The second tier of English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a Premier League spot up for grabs at the end of the season.
Last year, Southampton, Leicester City and Leeds United all descended from the more sensible flight and all hope to return quickly; however, Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland also have real promotion ambitions.
At the other end of the table, QPR, Cardiff City and Birmingham City will be hoping to achieve better campaigns than last year’s relegation war, while newcomers Sheffield Wednesday will be looking for dramatic progress in the play-offs.
