Blackburn Rovers

Buoyed by the EFL Cup triumph over Morecambe, Rotherham United will try to record their first Championship win of the season when they face Blackburn on Matchday 2. The Millers failed to impress in a 4-1 loss at Stoke City, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels.

Following a shocking loss to League Two side Salford City in their EFL Cup opener, Preston will be aiming to record their first win of the season when they take on Sunderland at their Deepdale.

Bristol City

Saturday’s football game at the Den pits together Millwall and Bristol City, the two teams who were involved in some high-scoring affairs in the EFL Cup round 1. The Lions suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Reading, but it has to be noted that boss Gary Rowett rested several first-team regulars in the midweek game.

Sheffield Wednesday

MKM Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday, the two teams who were beaten by Norwich City and Southampton on Matchday 1. The Tigers disappointed their fans in midweek as well, with the team losing to Doncaster at home in the EFL Cup round 1 and, no doubt, they are low on confidence ahead of the visit of Wednesday.
