Hull City
The Tigers have had recent struggles but have stabilized in the Championship after dropping to League One briefly. They managed to finish 7th last season but have had a rough start this year. Despite bringing in some new talent like Philogene-Bidace and others, they have yet to find their stride under new coach Tim Walter.
Sheffield United
After being relegated from the Premier League, Sheffield United is still finding their footing. Despite key player departures like Archer and Osula, they’ve managed to bring in some new faces. Chris Wilder continues to lead the squad, and although they started the season with promise, recent form has been shaky, managing only one win in their last few games.
