Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Millwall in the Championship today.
An increasingly competitive second tier in 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.
Last year Southampton, Leicester City and Leeds United were relegated from the top flight and all are hopeful of making a quick return – but the likes of Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland all have real promotion ambitions too.
At the other end of the table, QPR, Cardiff City and Birmingham City will hope for better campaigns than last year’s relegation struggle – while newcomers Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to survive after dramatic progress through the play-offs.

But with all the momentum now with Leeds, it’s reported that Farke and Co are now turning their attentions towards the summer transfer window – and Leeds have drawn up two shopping lists depending on which division the Whites find themselves in.
As a result, the Daily Mirror reports that Leeds are very much on the trail of Newcastle midfielder Longstaff as a possible first recruit of the summer – and the cost for a potential deal may well come as quite the surprise.
The 26-year-old is one of the most popular players at St James’ Park, having come up through the youth ranks and having been born in neighbouring North Shields.
