    It's also four wins from four for Bristol City so far this season and Dean Holden takes his side to Oakwell this afternoon in a bid to make that five from five.

    It's the start of life without Gerhard Struber for Barnsley meanwhile as the Austrian manager departed for New York Red Bulls before the international break.

    First-team coach Adam Murray resumes his interim manager role which he last undertook this time last year when Daniel Stendel departed.

    One of the two teams in the Championship to have made a perfect start in Reading head to Teesside this afternoon as they look to make it five wins from five.

    New Royals boss Veljko Paunovic has so far mastermined four wins from four since he was appointed on the eve of the season.

    It's a Middlesbrough side with just the one win to their name so far in four games that they'll come up against this time.

    A move for Everton winger Yannick Bolasie fell through just before Friday's transfer deadline for Boro after the paperwork could not be completed in time.

    Derby County 0-1 Watford

    There was one match in the Championship on Friday night and it was a narrow victory for Watford at out-of-form Derby County.

    Joao Pedro's second-half curler gave the Hornets victory at Pride Park but that was about the only highlight in a scrappy affair.

    The result leaves the Rams still searching for a first home win of the season, while they have won just one of their seven games at Pride Park since football resumed in June.

    Victory for Watford, who have now won three of their five matches following relegation from the Premier League, moves them into the play-off places.

    International breaks are great and all, but they leave you with a hollow feeling from time-to-time - no full complement of EFL fixtures on a Saturday afternoon.

    Have no fear, we're back to full strength this afternoon as the Championship continues to come out of hibernation with 10 fixtures in the division.

    Added to that, we've also got a dozen fixtures in both League One and League Two.

    Welcome along, the majority of those matches get going in the next half an hour.
