Stay tuned for live updates as Portsmouth takes on Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship today.
The second tier of English football is becoming more competitive, making the contest both thrilling and fierce. At the end of the season, teams have the chance to earn a spot in the Premier League.
After being demoted from the Premier League last season, Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield United find themselves back in the Championship this time around. These teams are anticipated to contend for play-off spots once more. They will face competition from Norwich City, an improving Coventry City, and Leeds United, who were the runners-up in the play-offs last season. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the table, Wayne Rooney is looking to turn around Plymouth's luck after they narrowly escaped relegation last year. Joining them in the Championship are Portsmouth and Derby, the teams that moved up from League One, along with Oxford, who won the play-off final.
