 We'll start with the team Burnley leapfrogged to take top spot in midweek. QPR made a big statement by keeping hold of manager Michael Beale despite Premier League interest from Wolves and will no doubt be looking to continue their good start. Last weekend's 2-1 win over Wigan put them in a comfortable position going into this weekend's fixture at St Andrew's, having played a game less than both Burnley and Blackburn. They face a Birmingham side who have lost just one of their last four in the Championship following impressive wins over Bristol City and Hull, as well as a well-earned point against the Clarets. Could an upset be on the cards? West Brom vs Sheffield United It might have seemed like forever since West Brom sacked Steve Bruce but they've finally got their new boss after Carlos Corberan was appointed this week. The former Huddersfield Town head coach takes over at the Hawthorns with the club languishing in the relegation places, and in much need of a positive impact. Saturday's home fixture sees){kind=link}
Carlos Corberan and Michael Carrick start life at West Brom and Middlesbrough as the EFL returns this weekend, with big fixtures in the Championship, League One and League Two
A mini-midweek schedule saw another change at the top of the Championship table.
Two of the league’s relegated Premier League sides battled at Turf Moor on Tuesday night, with Jay Rodriguez’s penalty giving Burnley a late win over Norwich.
That win, the Clarets’ fourth in their last five, moved Vincent Kompany’s side above both Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers ahead of this weekend.
In League One, Plymouth Argyle and Ipswich Town maintained their positions as the third tier’s top two, whereas Leyton Orient still lead League Two thanks to a 2-0 win over Gillingham on Tuesday.
