Sheffield United and Birmingham City get their Championship seasons underway in the late kick-off on Saturday evening.
The Blades, who got their campaign underway with a 3-0 win against Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup first round last weekend, had an underwhelming season last time out as Chris Wilder's men finished 13th.
Sheffield United have been promoted to the Premier League twice and relegated twice since 2019 - and Wilder will demand an improved campaign from his side as they eye a play-off spot at least this season.
Watch Sheffield United v Birmingham City on Sky SportsLike Sheffield United, Birmingham City will fancy their chances of securing a play-off spot this season, especially given they've been expanded from four to six teams this time out.
The Blues, who beat Swansea 1-0 in their Carabao Cup first round showdown last weekend, obliterated League One in the 2024/25 campaign before finishing 10th in the Championship last season.
Chris Davies will be desperate for his side to build on that this time out as they look to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2011.
