WREX APPEAL Supercomputer predicts new Championship season with Wrexham fairytale continuing and ex-Premier League trio relegated WREXHAM are in line for a fourth-straight Hollywood season, according to a new Championship supercomputer.

It estimates the outcome of games based on a team's current strength (based on factors such as league position and form) and betting market odds. And the results are astounding, with Wrexham, who became the first team to earn back-to-back-to-back promotions up the pyramid, have the chance to play for Premier League football. The Red Dragons, once suffering a record 15-straight seasons in the National League before Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney saved the day, are predicted to finish inside the play-off spots next season.

Meanwhile, the clever AI algorithm reckons Southampton will go straight back up by winning the Championship. The Saints, who hired former Lens boss Will Still after relegation this season, are set to face a dramatic title race with Sheffield United, who will finally earn automatic promotion at the second time of asking. Fellow relegated sides Ipswich, Leicester and Frank Lampard's Coventry City are predicted to join Wrexham in making the play-offs.

Watford last played in League One (then known as the Football League Third Division) during the 1977-78 season. Derby finished 19th last year, while Hull are pipped to finish rock-bottom after just about saving themselves on the final day this season, after Luton lost to West Brom. While the supercomputer thinks the likes of Preston, QPR, Boro and Oxford United will narrowly survive. And Norwich, Millwall, Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea will finish a respectable mid-table. 5 Wrexham star James McClean could return to the glittering heights of Premier League football after playing with West Brom and Sunderland a decade ago Credit: Rex
