West Ham

Watford will be looking to put their disappointing EFL Cup exit behind them when they welcome West Ham to Vicarage Road. The Hornets were thrashed 5-1 by Peterborough in midweek but will be hoping to bounce back and secure their second home win of the new season. Watford have won 43% of their last seven home matches, while averaging 1.75 xG per game in those fixtures. Their def ... Read More...

Following a heavy EFL Cup loss (1-4) to West Ham, Southampton will be looking to bounce back when they face in-form Millwall to St Mary’s. The Saints have made a solid start to their Championship campaign, winning 3-1 against Stoke in their first home game.

Burnley

Norwich City will be looking to turn their midweek cup success into their first Championship victory of the season when they welcome Burnley to Carrow Road. The Canaries defeated Cardiff 2-1 in the EFL Cup after suffering back-to-back league defeats to West Brom and Millwall.

Preston

Charlton will look to keep their 100% record in the new Championship campaign intact when they welcome Preston to The Valley. The Addicks opened the season with impressive 2-1 victories over Derby and star-studded West Ham, although they suffered a heavy 5-1 EFL Cup defeat to Tottenham in midweek.

Sheffield United

Cardiff City will be eager to record their first win of the new Championship campaign when they welcome Sheffield United to their Cardiff City Stadium.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth

Bristol City will look to turn their promising attacking displays into a first win of the season when they take on Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon. The Robins were held to a 2-2 draw by Birmingham City last time out and have now failed to win their opening league games. Their home record is more encouraging, though, with Bristol City winning 50% of their last six matches at As ... Read More...

Lincoln

Lincoln

Bolton and Lincoln go head to head with both sides eager to make a statement in the early stages of the season. Bolton are looking to return to winning ways after a goalless draw with QPR, a game in which they were arguably fortunate to escape with a point as the visitors registered 10 shots on target and 1.81 xG. Steven Schumacher's men have nevertheless been strong at home, c ... Read More...

West Bromwich

Riverside Stadium will be the centre of attention when Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion meet in an intriguing early-season Championship derby.
