Sky Sports Main Event, from 1pm

The opening matches of the new Championship season continue as Marco Silva’s new charges Fulham, who are hoping to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, take on old-timer Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough at Craven Cottage (kick-off 1.30pm). That’s followed by a Midlands derby in which Coventry City host Nottingham Forest (k.o. 4.30pm).
