All the newly-promoted teams in England’s top five divisions from the Premier League to the National League will play in the same division next season, with the possible exception of Lincoln, who are in the League Two play-offs having gone up last season from the fifth tier.

Huddersfield earned their vital point at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday to assure safety and complete this historic feat.

In 2001-02 Fulham, Bolton and Blackburn all survived their PL seasons and a decade later QPR, Norwich and Swansea repeated the trick.

In the 1997-98 season, all three promoted clubs were relegated, with Bolton, Barnsley and Crystal Palace getting swiftly sent back down to the Championship.

Nobody will want to repeat what Sunderland did this season, as they not only suffered consecutive relegations, they finished bottom in the table in back-to-back years.
