WONDERS OF THE PYRAMID
DAVID WAGNER takes charge of his first league game as NORWICH boss today with a trip to inconsistent PRESTON. The German-American boss says he is trying to build a relationship with the fans, which was missing in Dean Smith’s poor tenure as Carrow Road turned against him. Wagner has been sacked at Schalke and Young Boys after leaving Huddersfield and some have questioned if he is the right man to take the club forward. Norwich are 11th. LUTON host WEST BROM in a battle of two teams flying under new coaches. Rob Edwards’s Hatters have won their last three league games, and the Baggies have won eight of Carlos Corberan’s 10 Championship matches. At the bottom of the table, ROTHERHAM are out of the drop zone by a single point but have lost 11 of 18 games since Paul Warne left for Derby. They play third-placed BLACKBURN at 12.30pm. In League One, managerless PORTSMOUTH look set to give the job to Liam Manning. The 37-year-old had one brilliant season at MK Dons but fans wonder if it is a sideways move after the club sacked Danny Cowley. GILLINGHAM host HARTLEPOOL in a League Two relegation battle. Gills’ new boy Tom Nichols will make his debut.
