It seems like it was just last week when the 2023-24 men’s season ended – primarily because it was. In theory, this ought to have left us with roughly 10 painful minutes of no football, but luckily Spain and France saw our pain, forcing their exhausted bodies through extra time such that by the time the Olympic final was finished, the Championship had started; disaster averted.

In that opening fixture, Sheffield United won 2-0 at Preston and our focus tonight will be with on the Blades, who entertain Wrexham, the Hollywood outfit having won their first match in League One at home to Wycombe. But there’s more – lots more.

Bristol City v Coventry looks a decent tussle, likewise Preston v Sunderland, And elsewhere, Bromley, the newest members of the EFL, make their competition debut with a home tie against AFC Wimbledon, while West Brom face a tricky trip to Fleetwood, and its LIVE!

Kick-offs: 7.45pm and 8pm BST
