Follow live coverage as Huddersfield Town face Birmingham City in the Championship today.

An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Last year Southampton, Leicester City and Leeds United were relegated from the top flight and all are hopeful of making a quick return - but the likes of Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland all have real promotion ambitions too.

At the other end of the table, QPR, Cardiff City and Birmingham City will hope for better campaigns than last year’s relegation struggle - while newcomers Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to survive after dramatic progress through the play-offs.

Box owners at Mexico’s iconic Azteca Stadium refuse to release their seats for the 2026 World Cup
Roberto Ruano has a luxury box at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium where he and his family can watch soccer games and other events in privacy and comfort. When the stadium is handed over to FIFA for the tournament co-hosted by Mexico and the United States, Ruano expects the world soccer body to respect a deal dating from the stadium’s construction six decades ago that gave box owners unlimited access to their seats for 99 years. “We’ve already paid for the right to be there when we purchased the title and there can be no restrictions for us,” says Ruano, 61, the spokesman of an association of 134 box owners.

Jen: £107m World Cup winner with the potential to be one of the, if not the, best midfielders in the world. Don: Great feet but lacks the speed and physicality for the Premier League, which I thought would be obvious to any detailed scouting assessment. Wynn: On his day, Fernandez can control the game from midfield, much like Cesc Fabregas in his pomp, and he will hopefully do this more consistently over time.
