Championship Weekend Preview
The Championship weekend begins with what should be a Yorkshire cracker, as Leeds host Sheffield United on Friday night.
It's 2nd v 5th, so not only does it have local bragging rights at stake, but also valuable points, both could go top of the table with a win.
There's four early kick offs on Saturday, the best looks to be West Brom's trip to Oxford, with West Brom going along really nicely, starting the weekend in 4th.
Elsewhere, bottom of the table Cardiff welcome Wayne Rooney's Plymouth in another one of the early games.
Burnley are another promotion contender in action, they play at 3pm on Saturday and travel away from home to face Sheffield Wednesday.
Portsmouth had to QPR, and coming back from the break, Pompey are the only Championship side yet to record a win this season.
Rounding off the games, Sunderland are in action, who begin the weekend as league leaders, but they may not be by the time they play.
It's a tough away trip for them too, they travel away from home to face Hull on Sunday, the final Championship game of the weekend.
