    Aston Villa v Fulham: Hosts Villa include Josh Onomah in attack for the visit of Fulham after they were soundly beaten by leaders Wolves last weekend; two changes for Slavisa Jokanovic's Fulham from a draw at home to Preston last weekend see Ryan Fredericks and Aboubakar Kamara return.

    Barnsley v Hull: Barnsley give a starting place to Ike Ugbo while Jason McCarthy replaces the suspended Matty Parkinson from their home draw with Middlesbrough last Saturday; Hull boss Leonid Slutsky brings in Kevin Stewart to replace the suspended David Meyler in midfield after the Tigers were held to a draw at Norwich a week ago.

    Bolton v QPR: Bolton will hope to build on their first win of the campaign last weekend as Sammy Ameobi continues to lead their attack in an unchanged starting XI; QPR are also unchanged from their draw at Sunderland last week with fit-again Jordan Cousins among the substitutes.

    There's a full programme of fixtures across the EFL this afternoon amid some wild weather conditions thanks to Storm Brian sweeping across the country.

    It reminds me of a school game I played in one windy Saturday in Essex in the late 90s when, depending which way you were shooting, it was virtually impossible to kick the ball beyond the halfway line.
