Early pressure from Watford as Jeremy Ngakia cuts in from the right looking for the shot but can't quite get it away.

A strong start from the Hornets in the sunshine at Vicarage Road.

So many subplots in today's Championship action.

But ultimately it's about goals and points.

We are under way in our early games...

Tom Cleverley makes just one change to the Watford side that drew 0-0 away at Stoke last weekend, with Moussa Sissoko returning to captain the team.

Tom Ince drops to the bench.

Alex Neil makes three changes following Millwall's attack following their 2-0 defeat at home to Bristol City.

Ra'ees Bangura-Williams, Femi Azeez and Mihailo Ivanovic drop to the bench, with Aidomo Emakhu and George Honeyman coming in behind Josh Coburn, who is up top.

No team has found a way through Watford's defence since their 4-0 drubbing at home to Leeds in February.

The Hornets have since kept three consecutive clean sheets and host a Millwall side who are among the lowest scorers in the Championship.

Only relegation battlers Derby County (33) and Luton Town (32) have scored less than Millwall's 34 goals in the league this season.

Watford won a five-goal thriller between the two sides on the Championship's opening weekend, with Mileta Rajovic popping up with the winner after the hosts had fought back from two goals down at The Den.

Much has changed for the visitors since that day in August, with Alex Neil replacing Neil Harris in the dugout and a whole raft of signings in the January transfer giving the team a very different look.

Tom Cleverley's side sit four points and two places above Millwall in the Championship table.

A home win could see them end the weekend in the play-off spots if other results go their way.

Jack Rudoni is out for Coventry City today having dislocated his shoulder in the win at Oxford last weekend while Jake Bidwell is among the substitutes as Frank Lampard makes two changes.

Jay Dasilva and Victor Torp get the nod to start.

Stoke City make one change from the side held to a goalless draw by Watford last time out.

Jordan Thompson drops to the bench and Wouter Burger returns having been out since mid-February with a knee injury.

Former manager returns to ex-club and receives hero's welcome - that's basically the script at the CBS Arena today.

The issue is his replacement is doing very nicely thank you and, whisper it, might even outdo his predecessor.

When Mark Robins was sacked by Coventry there was an outpouring of love from Sky Blues fans for the man who took them from League Two to within a penalty shootout of the Premier League as well as an FA Cup semi-final.

His successor Frank Lampard split the fanbase but with eight wins from nine games propelling them up to fifth place the former England midfielder is rapidly endearing himself to supporters.

Robins meanwhile was quickly snapped up by Stoke City but his repair job in the Potteries is proving to be a bit of a slow burn with 10 points from his 10 games leaving them too close to the drop zone for comfort.

Either way both bosses will get good receptions from home fans today while Stoke supporters will hope they will be able to hold Robins in the same light in years to come.

The weekend's Championship action got under way last night as Norwich hosted Oxford United.

In the end it was frustration for the Canaries who got off to the perfect start through Josh Sargent's close-range strike.

Oxford hit back moments later as Mark Harris got on the end of a long throw to swivel and fire the ball into the back of the net.

In the second half the home side largely dominated and threw everything at Oxford, but Gary Rowett's U's held firm and the points were shared.

Leeds United lead the way in what is looking like an increasingly inevitable return to the Premier League after two years in the Championship.

But the team grabbing everyone's attention at the moment are play-off chasing Coventry City.

Frank Lampard has taken the Sky Blues from 17th place, two points above the relegation zone, to fifth in the table since taking over from Mark Robins in November.

Robins takes his Stoke City side to the CBS Arena today.

Keep an eye also on Bristol City, who have been flying under Liam Manning.

At the bottom, Luton, Plymouth and Derby are all in desperate need of points to ensure they're not cut adrift.

If results go against them today the gap between 21st and 22nd could be as much as eight points.

This is the time when finding form can make the difference - from making a late charge for the play-offs, to dropping off and being sucked into a relegation battle.

This weekend sees the reverse of the league's opening fixtures. Thirty-four more have taken place between then and now and we'll bring you that all-important Championship table as it stands shortly.

In the meantime, here's what's in store (all times 15:00 GMT unless stated):

• Coventry v Stoke (12:30 GMT)

• Bristol City v Hull
• Burnley v Luton
