The new Championship season gets underway on Friday night with the earliest-ever start for the competition.
That's due to the World Cup taking place in winter which means the second tier takes a three-week hiatus over November and December. Huddersfield Town, beaten play-off finalists last year, get the new season underway with a visit from relegated Burnley. Both sides have different looks with new men at the helm in Danny Schofield and Vincent Kompany respectively.
Each will be hoping to plot a successful path to the Premier League over the course of the next nine months and a good start is therefore crucial.
