FOOTBALL League sponsors Sky Bet have installed Burnley as joint–second favourites to win the Championship this season.
The Clarets are 8-1 to land the title along with Derby County, with Hull City the front-runners at 13/2 favourites.
Sean Dyche’s men are quoted at 11/4 to win promotion at the first time of asking and evens to finish as the top North West club, ahead of Blackburn Rovers (11/4), Preston North End (4/1) and Bolton Wanderers (6/1).

Bristol City - promoted as Champions from Sky Bet League 1 last season – are an 18/1 shot to repeat the feat in the Sky Bet Championship.
Sky Bet make Rotherham United (4/9), Charlton Athletic (4/11) and Bolton Wanderers (2/7) the least likely to stay up next May.
Newly promoted sides MK Dons and Preston North End are both priced at 1/8 to avoid the drop.
