West Bromwich Albion have been deep in the waters of the Championship for some time now, having been absent from the exclusive club of the Premier League since 2021.

Having put through the wringer in recent memory, which saw Sunderland fall all the way down to League One, the Black Cats do now seem to be on the up in the Championship under Regis Le Bris.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are keeping their options wide open in potentially replacing Gary O'Neil.

Carlos Corberan has a reputation as a manager for prioritising resolute defensive displays over free-flowing attacking football, and that has been the case at West Bromwich Albion this season to date.

Birmingham City fans aren't used to this feeling of being near the top of a division, having grown too used to watching their side struggle against the drop in the Championship for many seasons.

Sunderland head back into the swing of things in the Championship winless in their last three games, which is a strange predicament to be in considering the Black Cats are also top of the current second-tier pile.

Southampton need to turn around their fortunes and fast, with Russell Martin's men alarmingly sinking to an immediate return to the Championship at their current trajectory.

Southampton knew the step-up in quality moving to the Premier League was going to be challenging, but the start of the season has been nothing short of dismal so far for Russell Martin's men regardless.

Ruben Amorim will be travelling to Suffolk for his first taste of Premier League action confident that he can pick up a debut win as new Manchester United boss, with Kieran McKenna 's Ipswich Town his first opponent.

This former Birmingham City loan player continues to be a deadly goal machine.
