There are four games down out of 46 in the Championship already this season, but the promotion picture is looking no clearer than when it began.

Early favourites Newcastle United were left stunned as they lost both of their opening games to Fulham and Huddersfield, although have since bounced back with two wins.

The current leaders are Huddersfield Town, followed by Brighton and Hove Albion, and Wolves, but no team has a 100 per cent record.

Former player and pundit Robbie Savage was asked for his snap answer on the two teams to win automatic promotion this season, via Twitter this morning, and plumped for two recently relegated teams, Newcastle United and Norwich City.

Savage clearly believes Newcastle’s class will eventually tell, but his faith in Norwich City also speaks volumes for the work Alex Neil is doing at Carrow Road.

A changed Canaries side beat Coventry 6-1 in the EFL Cup last night, and they are unbeaten so far this season with two league wins and two draws.

They currently sit in fourth place, with Newcastle in seventh, and the other relegated side Aston Villa in 12th.
