Opinion: Championship table prediction – updated!

As the Sky Bet Championship prepares to get back into the swing of things this evening, I thought it would be a good time to re-predict how I think the table will look when the season ends in May 2017.

When I first predicted the table, there hadn’t been many signings but following some big moves across the division, including a £12 million deal which saw Ross McCormack move to Blues’ midlands rivals Aston Villa, I thought another prediction needed to be made.

Down below is the original prediction followed by the new one…

INITIAL PREDICTION:

1. Newcastle United
2. Derby County
3. Norwich City
4. Sheffield Wednesday
5. Aston Villa
6. Blackburn Rovers
7. Bristol City
8. Birmingham City
9. Brighton and Hove Albion
10. Cardiff City
11. Leeds United
12. Ipswich Town
13. Barnsley
14. Reading
15. Nottingham Forest
16. Wolverhampton Wanderers
17. Brentford
18. Huddersfield Town
19. Queens Park Rangers
20. Wigan Athletic
21. Preston North End
22. Rotherham United
23. Fulham
24. Burton Albion
