<p>WATFORD, England &mdash; Two of the three teams to lose their places in the Premier League last season are assured of making an immediate return to England’s lucrative top division.</p>
<p>Watford sealed promotion with two games to spare in the second-tier Championship after beating Millwall 1-0 on Saturday.</p>
<p>Watford is in second place, five points behind a Norwich team that secured promotion last weekend. They will be the two sides to go up automatically, Norwich as champion if it wins one of its last two games.</p>
<p>The third team to get promoted will come from the four-team playoffs, which is set to include fourth-placed Bournemouth.</p>
<p>Norwich, Watford and Bournemouth were all relegated from the Premier League last season.</p>
