Norwich City secured promotion to the Premier League after being crowned champions of England's second-tier Championship last month. The Canaries accumulated a club-record 97 points from 46 games, finishing six points clear of second-placed Watford.
Norwich make an instant return to the top flight, having been relegated to the second division during the 2019-20 season.

The Canaries will now look to cement their spot in the Premier League, with manager Daniel Farke eyeing a repeat of their Championship heroics during the upcoming season.
On that note, here's a look at three Norwich City players who could shine in the Premier League next season.
#1 Max Aarons - Norwich City's promising full-back
Regarded as one of the best young full-backs in English football, Max Aarons was one of Norwich City's standout performers during the 2020-21 campaign.
The 21-year old is a dynamic full-back who contributes heavily in both attack and defence. He played 45 league games during the recently concluded campaign, making 0.7 tackles, 0.9 interceptions and 1.8 clearances per match. Aarons also scored two goals and provided two assists this past season.
His exploits earned him a place in the EFL Championship Team of the Season and he was also nominated for the EFL Championship Young Player of the Season award.
The England youth international has been linked with a number of top European clubs in recent months, so Norwich may find it hard to convince him to remain at Carrow Road.
#2 Teemu Pukki - Norwich City's goalscoring machine
Teemu Pukki enjoyed yet another stellar season with Norwich City, playing a key role in their promotion to the Premier League.
The 31-year played 41 league matches this past season, scoring 26 times and assisting four goals. Pukki finished third behind Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong in the race for the Golden Shoe and was also selected in the Championship Team of the Season.
The former Celtic forward also scored 10 goals in 10 games for Finland in their Euro 2020 qualification campaign, helping them reach their first-ever major international tournament.
Norwich will hope he continues to score goals on a regular basis in the Premier League next season.
#3 Tim Krul - Norwich City's last line of defence
Signed from Brighton and Hove Albion in 2018, Tim Krul has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper at Norwich City.
The 33-year-old played 36 matches in the league this past season, keeping 17 clean sheets. He saved 80.2% of the shots he faced over the course of the season, including two penalties.
His performances earned him a place in the Championship Team of the Season as well as a spot in the Netherlands' Euro 2020 squad.
