Despite watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an abrupt end at the hands of Derby on August 12th, new boss Ryan Mason has seen his squad enjoy a bright start to proceedings. Getting the new campaign underway with a gritty 1-0 victory against Blackburn, the former interim Tottenham boss saw his top-six contenders lay down a real marker last weekend. Eventually securing what was an action-packed 3-2 win away at Wrexham, West Brom are one of just three Championship clubs who have put six points on the board from their first two appearances.
Sheffield United, suffering major heartbreak at Wembley, starts their Championship campaign with a promising home match against Bristol City, under new manager Ruben Selles.
Ipswich, under Kieran McKenna, have stability and a squad stacked with players who have shone at this level previously, including talents like Omari Hutchinson and Jack Clarke.
