The Championship league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. AFC Bournemouth and Queens Park Rangers are placed 3rd and 9th respectively.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
