    Victory for Leeds United will take them back to the top of the table ahead of the 15:00 BST kick-offs.

    Marcelo Bielsa's side have still lost just once in the Championship this season but have slipped off the summit following four draws in their last seven.

    The Whites are the only side still unbeaten away from home in the division, with three wins and three draws from their trips away from Elland Road this season.

    Blackburn, meanwhile, head into this match 10th in the table, one point off the play-offs.

    Tony Mowbray's Rovers have only been beaten twice following their return to the second tier.

    Before we get into news from Ewood Park, a reminder of what went on last night at Hillsborough.

    Middlesbrough went into the Owls' nest, where Sheffield Wednesday were yet to be beaten, and came away with all three points after a 2-1 win.

    After a fairly quiet first-half, Boro took just three minutes after the restart to cut through the Wednesday rearguard through Mo Besic.

    They added a second six minutes later when a defensive howler allowed Besic to tee-up Britt Assombalonga for a simple finish.

    Adam Reach's beautifully-taken goal gave the Owls late hope, but Boro held out to go top of the Championship.

    One of three sides could replace the Teessiders at the top today.

    After a two-week hiatus for the international break, the Championship returns to give fans their fix of domestic football.

    After Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday kicked off the weekend's action last night, there are 11 more fixtures in the second tier today.

    There's a full fixture list in League One and League Two as well, but before we talk about all of that we have a midday match to get us under way.

    Blackburn Rovers host Leeds United. Team news is on the way shortly.
