Swansea

The Hawthorns will host Saturday’s Championship game between West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City, the two sides who are eager to record their first triumph of the process.

Plymouth

Following a routine 4-0 win over QPR in their Championship opener, Watford suffered a shocking loss to Stevenage in the EFL Cup round 1 on Tuesday evening. The Hornets aim to get back on course as soon as possible and Saturday’s clash against Plymouth seems like a good opportunity for Valerien Ismael’s men to do so.

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.

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. Both Kevin Nisbet and Joe Bryan return to the starting XI, while M ... Read More...

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.
