Stay updated with live coverage as Cardiff City takes on Plymouth Argyle in today's Championship match.

The second tier of English football continues to be a thrilling and fiercely contested league, where teams fiercely vie for the opportunity to earn a spot in the Premier League by the season's end.

After being relegated from the Premier League last season, Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield United have returned to the Championship and will be looking to compete for play-off positions once more. They will face strong competition from Norwich City, a steadily improving Coventry, and Leeds United, who were defeated in last season's play-offs. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the table, Wayne Rooney is working to turn around Plymouth's fortunes after they barely escaped relegation last year. Joining them in the Championship are Portsmouth and Derby, who were promoted from League One, along with Oxford, the victors of the play-off final.
