Football is back and it starts with tonight’s opening EFL Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton at Hillsborough.

Saints are playing their first match in England’s second tier since 2012 having been relegated from the Premier League last season.

Wednesday, on the other hand, return to the Championship after two seasons in League 1, with the South Yorkshire city having both their sides in the same league once more.

Liverpool fans will be on Romeo Lavia watch tonight as the Merseyside club are currently in negotiations to buy the Belgian midfielder.

Who will come out on top in the first game of the football season?
