The Sky Bet Championship is rightly regarded as one of the most exciting leagues anywhere and another season of unrelenting drama gets underway tonight.
Burnley, who return to second-tier football following six seasons as a Premier League club, get the action underway with a visit to beaten play-off finalists Huddersfield Town.
The match marks the starting gun for another marathon of 46 rounds of fixtures, divided this time around by the Qatar World Cup in November and December which will see a four-week mid-season break.
As a result, the fixture list will be more congested than ever, adding even more of a chaos factor to a league often noted for its unpredictability.
