    Preston 0-0 Sheff Utd

    Pretty even in this one so far.

    With Norwich currently losing a win for the Blades today could give them a nice cushion at the top of the league.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff look for a way back into this.

    Callum Robinson turns adroitly but sends his shot over the crossbar.

    Huddersfield, so strong defensively last season, are yet to keep a clean sheet this campaign.

    Wigan 0-0 Reading

    Good stuff from Reading early on against Wigan.

    They work the ball to Sam Hutchinson who almost tries his luck from the edge of the area but Will Keane is on hand to clear the danger.

    Birmingham 0-0 Coventry

    Chances at both ends.

    Birmingham go close but Juninho Bacuna can't keep his shot on target from Tahith Chong's cross, before Coventry's Jamie Allen sees a shot saved by John Ruddy.

    The Sky Blues are looking for their first win of the season.

    Millwall 0-0 Blackpool

    Millwall aren't in the best of form coming into their meeting with Blackpool but they've started well this afternoon.

    Zian Flemming heads towards goal at the end of a promising attack but he sends it straight at Seasiders goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw.

    Dara O'Shea (9 mins)

    John Swift sends a free-kick towards the back post and Dara O'Shea is afforded too much space by the Norwich defence to head home.

    Not many would have predicted this start considering the contrasting form of the two sides.

    Crewe v Crawley (15:00 BST)

    Crewe Alexandra manager Alex Morris has called on his players to turn Gresty Road into a fortress, as the Alex host 20th placed Crawley Town in League Two.

    The Railwaymen sit in tenth after grabbing a point at Hartlepool thanks to a late Dan Agyei equaliser and they'll be hoping to move back up into the play off positions.

    Youngster Charlie Finney really impressed the travelling support coming off the bench to assist with the Alex equaliser at Hartlepool and will be pushing for a starting place.

    Crawley had a terrific 3-2 home victory over promoted Stockport County and will be hoping for more of the same in South Cheshire, as Kevin Betsy's Reds look to add to their six points.

    Crawley striker Tom Nichols got a hat-trick of assists against Pools and will be hoping to add to that tally.

    There’s an added bit of stardust at the ground today too. Before the game, music star and lifelong Crewe fan Tom Seals will lead the national anthem as the two sides pay their respects to the Queen.

    Cambridge v Barnsley (15:00 BST)

    This is the first meeting between these two sides since March 1993. The result that day was a 2-0 win to the Tykes at Oakwell.

    Fast forward to 2022 and Cambridge sit in sixth and are going beyond expectations as they welcome Barnsley. The U’s have been my surprise package in League One so far.

    Although it's still early doors we’re now eight games in and it's been their impeccable home form that has not gone unnoticed. They’re currently joint best in the division with four wins from four at the Abbey Stadium. Their away form, on the other hand, has been quite the opposite.

    U’s manager Mark Bonner is adamant that his team will bounce back after what he called an ‘uncharacteristic performance’ in midweek in losing 2-1 to Cheltenham. Cheered on today by the home fans, his side go into this fixture confident but under no illusion that Barnsley aren’t going to roll over.

    Barnsley have been inconsistent. Relegation from the Championship last season seems to still be lingering at the start of this campaign. The Tykes start the afternoon in mid-table with two wins in their last five games, it looks like things have finally started to look up for Michael Duff’s men.

    After a big South Yorkshire derby win against Sheffield Wednesday in their last away outing, they’ll be wanting to build on the last two positive performances. This one’s going to be a tight affair, who is going to grasp those vital three points?!

    Norwich v West Brom (15:00 BST)

    How often have we said, ‘The Canaries are flying high in the Championship’? Answer: Every other season - or at least that’s how it’s been in recent years for Norwich City. But after winning their last six on the bounce who would bet against them to go back into the Premier League for a third time in five seasons?

    Dean Smith has brought Teemu Pukki back and he’s doing what he does best in the Championship. In Josh Sargent, Pukki has been able to link up to a player who is really showcasing what he can do too, with the 22-year-old US international at the heart of everything attacking for Norwich.

    I know you’ll be one way or another with Steve Bruce. So first off, just remember that even though they sit in 22nd, they’re only seven points off third. So perhaps let’s not get too carried away with their poor start, shall we? One win in the league all season looks bad but performances in general have been positive.

    New boy Brandon Thomas-Asante has given them an extra dimension off the bench since joining from Salford City and has two in two. Karlan Grant hasn’t quite got into his stride but got 18 last season, and they certainly have the players to climb the table.

    Defensively, they weren't at it in midweek in losing 3-2 to a Scott Hogan-powered Birmingham City. So that will be a key priority for Bruce at Carrow Road. The Canaries will give them chances though.

  20. Around the Championshippublished at 14:45 British Summer Time 17 September 2022

    Coventry are looking for their first in any competition this season and go in search of three points against Midlands rivals Birmingham City this afternoon.

    Burnley v Bristol City promises to be an entertaining game and third-place Blackburn head to Luton.

    Reading, with Andy Carroll back in their ranks, head to Wigan, Millwall host Blackpool, QPR take on Stoke and struggling Huddersfield take on Cardiff after parting company with manager Danny Schofield.

    There's also a 19:45 BST match to round things off as Middlesbrough look to get their season back on track against Rotherham, who have made a strong start to the season, sitting in ninth.
