They will be joined by fellow promoted sides Cardiff City and Fulham.

The Premier League season of 2018/19 also begins today following the start of the Premier League's AGM.

The three clubs relegated from the Premier League in 2017/18, Swansea City, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion, must first transfer back their share certificates that gave them Premier League status.

The Premier League Board of Directors will then confirm the cancellation of these shares.

A new share certificate for each of the promoted clubs will be signed by the Premier League directors and company secretary and the three clubs entered into the share register, as required under company law.
