At this stage, all 24 teams will have aims of reaching the top six at least and a good start is always key.
The early kick-off on Saturday sees Burnley entertain Bolton Wanderers in a Lancashire derby at Turf Moor.
Bolton just missed out on the play-offs last season of course, but they now have Dougie Freedman in charge for his first full season and spirits are high in the camp.
Burnley would have been looking forward to their new campaign, but losing Charlie Austin to Queens Park Rangers might make a few slightly anxious about the season.
This is sure to be a cracking game to get us underway and the value could be with Bolton, who are at 9/5.
QPR will start life in the Championship with a home tie against Sheffield Wednesday, which is a game they should be winning.
Harry Redknapp has done plenty of business in the transfer window once more and there is no doubt that a good start is key for Rangers as they started the 2012/13 term in the Premier League poorly.
Another one of the relegated teams – Wigan Athletic – have a new manager in the shape of Owen Coyle and they make the journey to Barnsley on Saturday afternoon. Coyle knows all about the Championship and with some decent business done in the transfer window, Wigan might be a popular bet at 6/4. Here.
Reading are the other team in action that were relegated from the top flight and they start with a home tie against Ipswich Town.
The Royals will be confident of an immediate return to the Premier League, but after finishing the season strongly under Mick McCarthy, so will Ipswich.
The three teams that were promoted from League One – Doncaster Rovers, Bournemouth and Yeovil Town – all play on Saturday.
Doncaster are at home to Blackpool and at 2/1, the latter might be a popular bet in this one. Rovers will be looking to continue the momentum built towards the end of last season.
Bournemouth will play at home to Charlton and Yeovil make the tough journey to Millwall.
Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest – who many fancy to gain promotion this season – are at home to Huddersfield town and you can back the home side at 5/6 here.
Forest finished last season strongly and just missed out on the play-offs, but they look to be a much stronger outfit this time out.
The team that lost in the play-off final last season – Watford – head to Birmingham City on Saturday in what might prove to be one of the pick of the fixtures this weekend as both teams look to be strong and are sure to play a good brand of football.
Also, Leeds lock horns with Brighton & Hove Albion and Middlesbrough entertain Leicester City.
We should be in for a cracking afternoon.
