    Josh Maja (25 mins)

    It's been a dreadful few years for Sunderland fans but in Josh Maja they might just have a man to bring some smiles back to faces on Wearside.

    The 19-year-old scores his third league goal of the season with a fine 20-yard strike.

    Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United are sitting pretty after a 100% start to the season

    Remarkably after just three games of the Championship season Leeds United are the only team with a perfect record in the second tier.

    The Whites cruised to a 2-0 win over Rotherham on Saturday.

    They sit second in the table behind Middlesbrough, with Boro having played an extra game.

    A Bees win today could see them move up to third in the fledgling Championship table.

    No goals in west London and none in the North East so far either.

    Brentford are creating space and I really like the way they play, but they will have to be patient today.

    It is the first time I have watched them live this season. Everyone is on the move, with the wide men coming off the wings, with Henrik Dalsgaard overlapping on the right.

    It is wonderful flowing and attacking football.

    Brentford 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Neal Maupay, making his 50th appearance for the Bees, can't quite get on the end of a ball into the box from Sergi Canos.

    His cross is just slightly over-hit.

    That came from a quick counter-attack from a Wednesday set piece at the other end.

    Brentford are a side who play on rhythm and it will be up to Sheffield Wednesday to disrupt that.

    They are getting tight to Lewis Macleod and Josh McEachran in the centre of the park. They are trying to deny Brentford the opportunity to play the ball through the middle and make them go long.
