Middlesbrough v Sheff Utd (14:00 BST)
Image source, Rex FeaturesChris Wilder and Sheffield United went together like bread and chips.
The die-hard Blade led his team up from League One to the Premier League during his five seasons in charge.
He brought Paul Heckingbottom on to the club's staff during his time in charge at Bramall Lane and, after a brief and pretty disastrous spell under Slavisa Jokanovic, it has been Heckingbottom who has carried on Wilder's work in the Steel City.
Wilder's first game against his former side ended in a humbling 4-1 defeat back in March and he will be keen to exact some revenge, and end Boro's winless start to the season, today.

Saturday Championship recap
Image source, Getty ImagesWho doesn't love a goalkeeper scoring?
Well, right now Sunderland fans probably, but aside from that...
The Black Cats looked to be cruising to a 2-0 win over QPR on Saturday but a late goal from Ilias Chair set up a tense finale and R's goalkeeper Seny Dieng popped up in injury-time to head home an unbelievable equaliser.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Hull City went top with a 2-1 win over winless Norwich City, Rotherham thumped Reading 4-0 and last season's beaten play-off finalists Huddersfield claimed their first win of the season with a 3-1 success over Stoke.
