Chelsea confirmed Prem 2 champions; Man Utd promoted

Chelsea U23s have been confirmed Premier League 2 champions for 2019-20.

The league was halted in March when Chelsea were three points clear of their closest challengers Leicester at the top of the table.

After a lengthy wait, the young Blues, managed by Andy Myers, have won the title after clubs agreed to determine the final standings using a points-per-game system, as reported by the Premier League's official website.

It is the first time that Chelsea have won Premier League 2 or the equivalent since the 2013-14 campaign.

Wolves have been relegated to the second division of Premier League 2, while Manchester United and West Ham have both been promoted.
