Huddersfield Town plays host to Burnley in this opening match in the Championship. The home team will be looking to start the season with a win after their disappointing loss in last season's playoff final. Huddersfield have a new manager in Danny Schofield and they will be hoping that he can get the team to hit the ground running. They will be looking to improve on their third place finish of last season and will be targeting a top two spot which will guarantee them promotion to the Premier League. Huddersfield had a mixed bag of results in their pre-season with two wins, two losses and a draw in their five matches. They have been excellent at hope and have only lost one of their last seven matches across all competitions with five wins and a draw.

Burnley need to get the over the disappointment of being relegated last season if they are to begin life in the Championship with a win. They have formed Manchester City star Vincent Kompany as their head coach and it remains to be seen how he fares with limited managerial experience. Burnley have warmed up for the season ahead with victories in their two friendly matches. They will be hoping to improve on their attack which was the main reason for their relegation as they scored under a goal per match last season. Burnley have proven difficult to beat away from home losing just once in their last five matches on the road.
