Championship Takes Shape

Last updated : 16 May 2005 By Andy Beill

The Premiership drew to a close today with West Brom beating the drop after defeating Portsmouth. That means Crystal Palace and Norwich City go straight back down after just one season in the Premiership. Southampton join them after 27 years in the top flight.

The full roster of teams that City will face next season will be known after the play-off finals later this month.
