Bristol City outsiders for 2020/21 Championship title with Watford and Brentford favourites

Bristol City have been given long odds for the 2020/21 Championship title, sitting behind the likes of Middlesbrough, Millwall and Huddersfield Town on the bookies list.

The Robins are yet to hire a new manager and haven't brought in any new faces to Ashton Gate, with plenty of decisions still to be made over the course of the weeks leading up to September 12.

At 25/1, City sit as outsiders for the title behind several of their Championship rivals, but have been given odds of 8/1 to be promoted into the Premier League.

Brentford are amongst the bookmakers' favourites to win the Championship after losing Tuesday's play-off final to Fulham.

The Bees were beaten 2-1 at Wembley and have been automatically installed as one of the teams to beat for next season.

Relegated Premier League clubs Bournemouth, Norwich City and Watford make up three of the top four, with the latter installed as the shortest bet to win the title.

Despite being managerless, the Hornets are 13/2 favourites to lift the trophy next May, with Brentford at 7/1, followed by Norwich (8/1) and Bournemouth (12/1).

Michael O'Neill's impact at Stoke City sees them priced as fifth-favourite, level with Nottingham Forest despite an eight-place and 14-point gap between the two clubs last season.

Cardiff, Middlesbrough and Millwall are next in the queue, with Neil Warnock searching for his ninth promotion on Teesside.

However, with Watford, Bournemouth and Bristol City all yet to fill their vacant managerial positions, the odds will twist and turn before September 12.

Here's a full list of the runners and riders for next year's Championship title.
