Jake Cooper has come close to breaking the deadlock for the hosts with a header from Josh Coburn's cross, but Albion keeper Josh Griffiths flies to his left to make a smart save low down.

Almost an instant reply as Andi Weimann's drive is parried by Alex McCarthy with Carlton Morris firing the loose ball wide.

The first signs of life from Derby.

Oxford look to take advantage of their fast start with another attempt on goal.

Tottenham loanee Will Lankshear lets fly with a decent effort but it is well saved by Watford keeper Egil Selvik.

It's a good goal, a little messy in the build-up but he gets through and finds the net.

He scores because he's trying to do the right thing.

It's a controlled finish, calm as anything.

Boro have started well here and have a chance through midfielder Hayden Hackney who shoots from the edge of the box but his effort is deflected wide.

Confident start from Leicester City who have enjoyed the majority of possession and field position. Jordan James has the first sight of the Swansea goal, lifting an effort over the bar.

Saints have begun the brighter at Pride Park and Ryan Fraser has seen a cross blocked after a flowing move while now Ryan Manning has sliced a shot wide from an angle and seen a free-kick from range saved by Jacob Widell Zetterstrom.

Just one change for Bristol City from the side that drew with Ipswich with Mark Sykes replacing Ross McCrorie.

But a host of changes for QPR as Julien Stephan has kept his midweek word about the importance of rotation.

Koki Saito, Nicolas Madsen, Jonathan Varane, Rumarn Burrell, Esquerdinha and Liam Morrison are in to the starting XI.

Amadou Mbengue, Sam Field, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Harvey Vale, Isaac Hayden and Michael Frey make way.

Of we go... Toby Collyer has been handed a first start by Ryan Mason as one of four changes from the Albion XI which won at Norwich. Jed Wallace skippers Albion against his former club.

Goalkeeper Steve Benda. defenders Jake Cooper and Tristan Crama and midfielder Billy Mitchell are the only four Millwall players to keep their place after their 4-0 defeat to Coventry the same night.

The time for talk is over. Seven more games to immerse ourselves into.

Middlesbrough wearing their new white with green trim third kit for the first time. Will it bring them luck today at a blustery Fratton Park?

An unbeaten start to the league season, the best defensive record in the division and a raucous, sold-out away end.

Plenty of motivation for Pompey to push for a first win in five games.

One of the best views from a press box. Looking forward this.

Both games were 1-1 last season.

Both teams have drawn their last two Championship matches.

My prediction would be... DRAW.

Just one defeat in eight league outings for Gerhard Struber's Bristol City sees them sitting pretty in fifth spot in the Championship and there was plenty to like about their most recent performance.

A 1-1 draw against an upwardly mobile Ipswich last time out (their second on the spin) lent weight to hopes that City can be in and around the play off spots for a second season running.

The Reds will be without long term absentees Luke McNally, Joe Wiliams, Cam Pring, Max Bird and Josh Stokes as well as captain Jason Knight, who has been sidelined by a groin injury.

However, Struber is expected to be able to call upon Rob Atkinson, despite the fact that the centre-back was withdrawn in the second half of Tuesday night's draw at Deepdale.

For QPR, a 7-1 drubbing at the hands of the country's most prolific attacking force Coventry back in August provided the boot up the backside that manager Julien Stephan needed.

Since that day his Hoops are unbeaten with three wins and two draws even if a goalless stalemate against Oxford United last Wednesday was not exactly a progressive step.

Stephan has promised squad rotation as he seeks to keep his players as fresh as possible with games coming thick and fast after the upcoming international break.

If you'd said six months ago these two would be meeting today in a clash of two early would-be promotion chasers, I suspect 99% of people would have expected it to be a League One game.

But no, Preston avoided Championship relegation on a dramatic final day while Charlton won the League One play-off final to return to the second tier.

And they have both begun very well - the Lilywhites are seventh, one point and two places above the Addicks, with both sides looking solid at the back, North End still unbeaten at home and Charlton undefeated in four overall.

Although this is their first meeting in nearly six years, the Addicks have a shocking record at Deepdale, with just one win in 20 league visits since 1955.

Keep an eye on Thierry Small - the 21-year-old helped Athletic earn promotion last season before joining Preston on a free transfer. He's started all eight league games and got his first goal in the 2-2 draw at Hull on Tuesday, while his old club were held 1-1 at Derby on the same night.

Oxford United travel to Vicarage Road for a game against Watford where both sides will be desperate to pick up points to boost them up the table.

The U's sit one spot above the relegation zone based off just goal difference, the Hornets are three points clear of the bottom three.

Watford have won four out of the last five home league meetings against Oxford, conceding just two goals during this run.

U's boss Gary Rowett has won each of his last three league matches against Watford, keeping a clean sheet in all three victories.

Hot and cold Portsmouth host Middlesbrough, who were league leaders at the start of the day and are yet to lose a Championship game this season.

Despite their imperious start to the season, Boro have failed to take maximum points from their past two matches which have been draws against Stoke City and Southampton.

Portsmouth have dropped down the table recently, drawing two and losing two in their past four games.

But John Mousinho's side are known for being strong at home, and the Fratton Park crowd will no doubt be up for this one.

Middlesbrough have won just two of their past 13 away league games against Portsmouth, scoring just 0.6 goals on average per match during that time.
