Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl makes two changes to the team that lost 2-1 at Luton last time out. Di'Shon Bernard serves his one-match ban for the red card he picked up in that game when the Owls were leading 1-0, so Michael Ihiekwe comes into the defence. Ike Ugbo is in for Michael Smith up top.

West Brom boss Carlos Corberan makes one change to the team that started the 1-0 win over Plymouth. Ousmane Diakite makes his first league start for the club in place of influential midfielder Alex Mowatt. The Yorkshireman drops to the bench for this one.

The top-six of the Championship has a familiar look already, with the usual suspects and recent Premier League returnees, jostling for position among the pace setters.

Only Luton find themselves adrift at this stage, while Oxford and Derby are sitting pretty in the top-10 following their promotion from League One.

But who are the surprise package so far? Is it Sunderland, winners of five of their first six, perhaps it's Blackburn, unbeaten with 12 points, or is it Des Buckingham's Us, who have nine points from their opening six matches?

Derby County go into the lunchtime meeting with Norwich in search of a remarkable milestone.

Paul Warne’s side have won nine straight home games, keeping clean sheets in the most recent seven, and taken 37 points from 14 home games since New Year's Day.

Reading’s Sam Smith was the last opposition player to score at Pride Park with his 56th minute goal in a 2-1 defeat coming on 12 March.

If Derby can register an eighth straight clean sheet today they will move within a game of a record set by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2010.

Only Doncaster have a longer current home winning streak than the Rams across the top-four divisions, although they did lose at home to Crewe in the League Two play-offs in the midst of their 11-match winning run in the regular season.

Norwich might not be the side Derby fans would have chosen to try and extend their streak today – the Canaries have taken nine points and lost just once in their past six visits to Pride Park and won the last encounter 1-0 in April 2021.

Their form on the road is not great, however, their last nine league defeats have all come away from Carrow Road while they have lost eight of their last 15 games on their travels.

Can they burst the Rams bubble today?

John Eustace and his Blackburn Rovers side have enjoyed quite the start to the new season, still unbeaten in the league with three wins and three draws.

They face a QPR side that have drawn four of their opening six games, winning once and tasting defeat on just one occasion too.

QPR won this exact fixture 2-1 last season and will be looking to record victory in successive away league games against Blackburn Rovers for the first time since September 1970.

However Blackburn are unbeaten in each of their last eight league games (W4 D4), they haven’t enjoyed a longer such run since January 2022.

It's been a near-flawless start for West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies have won five and drawn one of their opening six league games and conceded just two goals in the process.

They visit a Sheffield Wednesday side who started the campaign with a thumping 4-0 home win over Plymouth but haven't won in the Championship since.

The Owls have won just one of their past 10 league matches against the West Midlands side, although that was the 3-0 success at Hillsborough in April.

The Championship weekend got off to a barnstorming start on Friday night as Wayne Rooney's Plymouth ran Premier League returnees Luton ragged at Home Park.

Debutant Rami Al Hajj curled a fine early opener and both sides spurned a glut of glorious chances before super-sub Ibrahim Cissoko smashed in a fierce drive just before the hour to finish a devastating break from Argyle's own box.

Victor Moses, remember him, pulled one back within two minutes with a neat chest and half-volley to set-up a grandstand finish, but it was Cissoko who nearly took the roof off Home Park in stoppage-time as he jinked his way in from the left before firing home at the second attempt to take the Pilgrims above the Hatters in the table.
