Leicester City, surprisingly relegated from the Premier League last season, are the favourites for promotion at 11/8.

They're followed by fellow relegated sides Leeds United (2/1) and Southampton (5/2) respectively.

Middlesbrough are fourth favourites at 3/1.

Town are also fifth favourites to win the Championship outright at 12/1, behind the same top four and again ahead of Norwich (14/1).

The Blues are overwhelmingly backed to be the top promoted side next season, with odds of 4/9 putting them ahead of Sheffeld Wednesday (3/1) and Plymouth Argyle (6/1).

Town, of course, haven't beaten Norwich City since 2009. The two sides meet at Portman Road on Saturday, December 16, followed by the return at Carrow Road on Saturday, April 6, 2024.
