    Millwall 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City only had five shots on the opening day in their draw against Preston.

    That was the second fewest in the Championship, with only QPR (4) faring worse.

    The Robins have only had one attempt on goal - which has gone off target - in the opening half an hour at The Den, despite having more of the ball.

    There's not been too much excitement for new minority Birmingham owner Tom Brady.

    After jetting in from the USA, can the Blues - or Leeds - put on a show for the NFL legend?

    Huddersfield keeper Lee Nichols makes a fine save to deny Dennis Praet before the Terriers break away and Jack Rudoni is fouled by Jannik Vestergaard.

    The Dane gets a yellow card for that challenge on the edge of the area.

    West Brom 0-0 Swansea

    It has been a quiet start in terms of goalmouth action at the Hawthorns.

    West Brom have just had the first effort of any note, a Conor Townsend free-kick which flashed a yard over the bar.

    Swansea have been poor in possession so far and it is the home side who are looking more threatening.

    He got five goals in the Premier League, and eight in all competitions.

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, meanwhile, has already picked up a booking for dissent.
