The Championship is a great honing ground for future Premier League players. Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City starlets could shine in the second tier this season…The young centre-back was among Coventry City’s star players last season while he was on loan with the play-off finalists.
Given the quality at Enzo Maresca’s disposal, Leicester would have massively underperformed if they don’t get promoted and Doyle has the talent to outshine Conor Coady and Wout Faes as they attempt to return to the Premier League at the first attempt.Going off how Grant has recently fared in the Premier League or Championship, he will either be among the league’s top scorers this season or be an utter flop.
He was not always the first-choice striker at West Brom but he will be the main man at Cardiff and his goals could be pivotal as they look to avoid relegation.Newly-promoted Ipswich have caught the public’s imagination this summer as they are many people’s pick to be a dark horse for promotion under former Man Utd coach Kieran McKenna, who has swiftly blossomed into one of the best young managers in the Football League.
