Monday’s football game between Watford and Sheffield United will bring down the curtain on day 1 of the new Championship campaign. Both Watford and United are eyeing a return to the Premier League, but securing a top-two finish is easier said than done given the number of promotion-chasing sides.

Coventry

Newcomers Sunderland will look to impress on their return to the Championship when they welcome Coventry City to their Stadium of Light in the season opener.
