PL: Congratulations to...

...West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City, who have been promoted from the Championship. They will be playing the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool next season, so well done to both sides and their managers! For West Brom it will be their third stint in the Premier League, and for Stoke City it has been 23 years since they last played top flight football. The hard work begins now though, it's tougher than ever to stay in the Premier League (just ask Derby).

Contesting the lucrative Play-Off position will be Hull City, Bristol City, Crystal Palace and Watford. The Semi-Finals start this weekend. Palace are the form team going into it, and are also the only side who have not flirted with the automatic promotion places at all this season. This could turn in their favour, and I believe it will be Neil Warnock's men who will be joining the two Tonys (Mowbray and Pulis, in case you didn't know) in the Premier League next season.
