PAUL Merson has described Huddersfield Town as ‘just not good enough’ as he predicts yet another loss for the

Their opening fixture is likely to be on Saturday, August 3, but there will likely be a live TV game the previous day.
All 72 EFL Clubs from the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two will be able to plan their respective campaigns from the release date. Round One in the Carabao Cup is to take place in the week commencing
