The Premier League is once again 20-teams strong after Aston Villa beat Derby County in the most expensive sporting event in the world: the Championship Play-Off Final.

Cardiff City, Fulham and Huddersfield fell through the trap door, crushing larynx’s, and soiling shorts. Norwich City, Sheffield United and Aston Villa replace them, full of hope that they will not be one hit wonders.

If any club has the foundations to be a more long term fixture in the English Premier League (EPL), it’s Villa. Until their relegation in 2016, the boys in claret and blue had played in every single EPL season since its inception in 1992-93, and now they’re back, after three seasons in the wilderness.

Villa’s accomplishment is nothing short of remarkable after Dean Smith and John Terry conjured up a 10-game winning streak in that laboratory of theirs to secure a berth in the most expensive game in world sport.
