Championship team news, formations and more

Watch live coverage as Leicester City take on Watford in the Championship today.

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

Southampton, Leicester City and Leeds United were relegated from the top flight last year and are all hoping for a quick comeback – but the likes of Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland also have real promotion ambitions.

At the other end of the table, QPR, Cardiff City and Birmingham City will be hoping for better campaigns than last year’s relegation battle – while newcomers Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to survive after dramatic progress in the play-offs.
