Follow live coverage as Sheffield United face West Bromwich Albion in the Championship today.

An increasingly competitive second tier of English football, it remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League at the end of the season.

Relegation from the top flight last term means Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United are all back in the second tier this term and expected to at least push for play-off places again, but so will Norwich City, an improved Coventry and beaten. play-off finalists Leeds United. At the other end of the table, Wayne Rooney is aiming to revive Plymouth’s fortunes after they narrowly avoided relegation last year, with Portsmouth and Derby promoted from League One along with play-off winners Oxford.
