Top 5: Surprise packages in the Championship this season

1) Brighton

Brighton players celebrate Tomer Hemed’s goal against Hull.

Marked by many as relegation contenders, Brighton have outperformed everyone’s expectations and have taken the league by storm.

Currently second in the table, the Seagulls have beaten the likes of Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Hull and Ipswich along the way.

Whilst their form has stalled slightly recently, Chris Hughton’s side are the only team in the top four flights of English Football currently undefeated.

If they continue to perform like this all season, Brighton fans may just dare to dream.
