Championship Weekend Fixtures Preview
The second round of the Championship fixtures is set to bring some exciting matchups this weekend, kicking off with Oxford‘s trip to Coventry on Friday night.
Coventry had a tough start, narrowly losing 1-0 to Stoke in their opener. They now face Oxford, who enjoyed a solid start by defeating Norwich 2-0 and beating Peterborough by the same score in the EFL Cup.
In another clash, Derby County will be taking on Middlesbrough. After a rocky start with a 4-2 loss to Blackburn, Derby managed to bounce back with a 2-1 win over Chesterfield in the EFL Cup. However, they’ll face a tough opponent in Middlesbrough, who is off to a great start with a win against Swansea.

Leeds, who have already been facing some injury issues, will visit West Brom, who will hope to build on their opening victory against QPR.
Bristol City struggles continue as they prepare to face Millwall, who managed to knock Portsmouth out of the cup recently.
