What will happen in this one though? Cast your vote so we know if you think it’ll be all smiles or disappointment come the full time whistle.
Bristol City, who haven’t won since the opening day of the campaign, host an Aston Villa side, recording a first win last time round, in the Friday evening game to get the fixtures underway.
Surprisingly, Birmingham and Reading have struggled so far. When these sides meet at St Andrew’s they’ll do so having each won just once so far, which is something Brentford haven’t managed at all – the Bees welcome third place Wolves to Griffin Park bidding to break that duck.
Leaders Cardiff have made a dream start, recording a record breaking four from four wins to begin the Championship season. A fifth at the Cardiff City Stadium against QPR – beaten just once – would ensure the Bluebirds remain top of the pile.
Ipswich, second, are the only other side in the Championship with a perfect record. The Tractor Boys will look to defend this when Fulham visit Portman Road.
Having been promoted via the play-offs last season, Millwall are without a win in the Championship, which is something the Lions will hope to change against a Norwich side that have won only once heading to the Den.
Both Nottingham Forest and Leeds will be expected to be in the promotion mix this season – at this point that’s the case and they’ll meet at the City Ground in Saturday’s evening game to finish the Championship fixtures.
