Thomas Frank suggested this week that this season's automatic promotion winners in the Championship will come from the current top six.
Frank believes two from Norwich City, Swansea City, Watford, Reading, Bournemouth and his Brentford side will be first and second in the table come 8 May.
Conor Hourihane is not convinced.
Swansea's recent loan signing from Aston Villa knows from experience how swiftly the promotion picture can change in the second tier.
He was part of the Villa side who reached the Premier League in 2018-19 - albeit through the play-offs - despite being 11th in the table with only 12 regular-season games remaining.
