The Championship’s regular season finished on Sunday afternoon during which Norwich City were confirmed as Champions.
The relegation spots were already decided, meaning only the playoff spots were left to play for. It fell to three teams — Derby, Middlesbrough and Bristol City — to fight over the final place.
In the end, Frank Lampard’s side ran out comfortable winners thanks to a 3-1 win at home to West Bromwich Albion. It leaves the Rams alongside Leeds, Aston Villa, and West Brom in the playoffs.
Leeds will face old foes Derby as spy-gate rears its head once more, while there’s a Midlands derby on between Villa and the Baggies. Fans may not know who is heading into the promised land of the Premier League, but the bookies have made their predictions.
Frank Lampard has said his Derby side are the underdogs and it would seem the bookies agree.
