This matchday carries massive stakes for teams across the entire table, with the promotion race tightening and the relegation battle already heating up just 11 games into the new campaign. Our pre-match build-up brings you confirmed team news from every fixture, released 60 minutes ahead of kickoff. Title favourites Leicester City, who currently sit top of the table with 28 points from 11 games, have named a rotated squad for their away trip to Coventry City, with veteran striker Jamie Vardy named on the bench after recovering from a minor hamstring strain, while summer signing Stephy Mavididi retains his place in the starting front three after scoring four goals in his last five appearances. Second-placed Leeds United, just two points behind Leicester, welcome Hull City to Elland Road, with star winger Crysencio Summerville back in the starting lineup after missing last week’s win over Bristol City with a concussion, much to the delight of the 36,000 home fans expected at the ground. Third-placed Southampton, who are aiming for an immediate return to the Premier League alongside the two recently relegated sides, travel to face Middlesbrough, with manager Russell Martin confirming he has no new injury concerns ahead of the fixture. For teams at the bottom of the table, today’s fixtures offer a critical chance to climb out of the relegation zone. Rotherham United, currently 23rd with just 6 points, host Queens Park Rangers, who sit just one place and two points above them, in a vital six-pointer for both sides. 22nd-placed Sheffield Wednesday travel to face Swansea City, still searching for their second win of the season after a difficult start under new manager Danny Röhl.
