While there has been plenty of focus on the fine start that Leeds have made in the Championship as unbeaten leaders, the pacesetters in League One and Two are also looking to keep their fine early season records intact.

As it stands, League One's top side Shrewsbury are level 0-0 with slow starters Oldham, while League Two leaders Exeter have gone 1-0 up against Crewe thanks to Jordan Tillson's seventh-minute goal.

Harry Redknapp's Blues, who can't seem to stop picking up injuries lately, have been forced into an unwanted early change, with Jason Lowe the man going off and Everton loanee Liam Walsh coming on.

Reading have started brightly at winless Brentford, with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson going close.

Don't forget you can get in touch throughout the afternoon via #bbcefl on social media.

Sunderland did the double over Hull the Premier League last season, the only side they recorded two wins against in their whole 2016-17 campaign.

Is today their day?

Around the grounds, play is getting under way... Where will the first goal be?

Here we go then. Kick-off is coming up next. Who's buzzing? I'm buzzing.

Whoever you support, good luck this afternoon...

Danny Rose came off the bench to score the only goal of the game against Lincoln City, helping Mansfield Town to their first victory away from home in any competition this season.

It took all of three minutes for Rose to make the game-defining impact as a substitute.

Here's a stat Black Cats fans won't want to hear. Sunderland have not won an away league game in September since 2006.

Their September record since then has seen them collect seven points from a possible 48.

For Simon Grayson's men, it's time to change all that. They whole club seems to desperately need an injection of confidence.

Bidding for a fifth league win in a row, newly-promoted Sheffield United are enjoying life under new Chris Wilder, and could even be top of the Championship by 17:00 if results go their way this afternoon...

Harry Redknapp may have signed plenty of new, exciting players for Birmingham this summer, including an almost entirely new team on transfer deadline day, but they're yet to pick up the desired results.

The Blues have lost five consecutive games in all competitions.

Today they meet a Preston side who are unbeaten in their past four league games and have only lost once in the Championship so far this term.

And Birmingham have only beaten Preston once in their past 12 meetings in all competitions...

This time last week, Cardiff had a 100% league record.

Just seven days, one battling draw at Fulham and one 3-0 loss at Preston later, and the Bluebirds' mood has changed somewhat.

But it has still been an excellent start for the South Wales club.

Can they bounce back this afternoon against a Wednesday side who themselves will be expecting to be challenging this season?

Both Hull and Sunderland have won just one of their past six games in all competitions, and both of them are yet to pick up points in September.

Neither of them can afford to lose today, can they?

They're under pressure, as some band called Queen once said.

What a time to be alive if you're a Leeds fan. You're top of the league.

Having found an absolute gem of a player in Ezgjan Alioski and looking seemingly unstoppable under new boss Thomas Christiansen, the Elland Road club are dreaming of a Premier League return that feels more realistic than ever before.

But can they do it on a Saturday afternoon at the Den?

You can always rely on Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock for a colourful quote or anecdote, and you would imagine he will be fired up for today's game against Sheffield Wednesday.

Warnock is Sheffield United through and through, born and bred in the Yorkshire city and arguably most famous for his eight-year stint in charge of the Blades.

He joked this week that Wednesday are his favourite opponents, and that the welcome he gets at Hillsborough is the best he receives in the entire Football League.

This, after all, comes from the man who said that, when he dies, he wouldn't like a minute's silence or applause but, instead, a minute's booing.

Hull's only switch sees Markus Henriksen replace David Meyler in midfield, while Sunderland's two changes see Lamine Kone and James Vaughan start.
