Luton Town vs Coventry City LIVE: Championship latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Luton Town face Coventry City in the Championship today.
An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.
Relegation from the top flight last term means Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United are all back in the second tier this term and will be expected to push for play-off spots again at least, but so too will Norwich City, an improving Coventry and beaten play-off finalists Leeds United. At the other end of the table, Wayne Rooney is aiming to revive Plymouth's fortunes after they narrowly avoided relegation last year, with Portsmouth and Derby the teams promoted from League One along with play-off final winners Oxford.

Cardiff City star reveals what really surprised him about relegation and the moment he 'collapsed'
Cardiff City star reveals what really surprised him about relegation and the moment he 'collapsed' The defender spoke about his time at the club ahead of his departure Dimitrios Goutas of Cardiff City celebrates scoring his team's third goal against Swansea (Image: Getty Images ) Departing Cardiff City star Dimitrios Goutas has opened up on his time in the Welsh capital and the disappointment he felt over suffering relegation in his final season at the club. Goutas was signed by Erol Bulut during the Turkish manager's first summer with the Bluebirds. Bulut had intimate knowledge of Goutas, who previously played in Turkey with Sivasspor. He quickly became a nailed-on first choice at centre-back, growing a partnership with Mark McGuinness and becoming a fan favourite, too. However, it wasn't all plain sailing for the Greece international. He endured spells of poor form and was left out of the team for his final months of the season after his performances dipped. In a wide-ranging interview with Sport24, translated on X by @MouzS13, Goutas spoke about his transition to the Championship and the eye-opening physicality it brought. Goutas' time at Cardiff started with a trip away to Leeds, a thrilling game which saw City go two goals ahead before succumbing to a stoppage-time equaliser. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community One moment in that Elland Road clash stood out to him and made him realise the stern task that was to face him during his two seasons with the club. Article continues below "Think about the level," he added. "In the first season in the division it was Leicester, Southampton, Leeds. Insane level, Premier League teams. It was fire. Nothing scared me. Not even when I realized that it would actually be different. "And that happened right away. I was playing in my first match, at Leeds. We were leading 2-0 at half-time. I was fine. The second half starts, a corner kick, I take a step back to make a jump, the opponent comes, hits me in the head, knocks me down. "I get up and immediately think about protesting. Everything we're used to. But I turn around and see that none of my team-mates are around to support me. They're gone, they're not even paying attention to the situation. "And then I realize... 'Dimitris, welcome. Now join the dance and dance like they dance here'. "From that moment on. From the first game. And I was lucky that it happened that way. I continued, I accepted it and from then on, in everything, in training, in games, in my daily life, in my mindset, I adapted straight away." The relentlessness of the Championship finally caught up with Goutas, and Cardiff, for that matter, as they suffered relegation to League One. It had been coming for some time, fans were worried since Christmas, but in truth they had been worried for a couple of years, with many braced for the inevitable. However, in a telling statement, Goutas, who will leave the club this month upon the expiry of his deal, said he was surprised by how the club ultimately ebbed towards the drop. "What was the problem? Maybe we were too relaxed. And not just us on the field. Everyone around the team, even the fans. No pressure, no disapproval," he said of relegation. "You see, in the game where we were relegated mathematically, I expected that when I left, things would be very difficult. But there were 100 people and they were waiting patiently, kindly, for autographs. "We fell and yet we had a sponsored night to recognize the best player of the season. The whole atmosphere had nothing to do with Greece or even Turkey. "Here (Greece), you know. Chaos, swearing, not being able to go out on the street. There, a completely different environment. It might have only been like that in our group. I am not sure. "In general, the way everyone was treated and approached, didn't make you feel like 'Wake up, we're going down!' I don't know if we would have stayed in the division if I had stayed in the team. I think it was a cycle that closed anyway." Article continues below Many attributed Goutas' declining form to the exit of his close friend and compatriot, Manolis Siopis, in January. And he admitted that there certainly was some truth in that school of thought. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here. "He was a huge help when I was in Cardiff," he said of the midfielder. "He has a way of decompressing those around him, of making them relax. And I told him that when he left. I would collapse without him being here. "And I collapsed. I didn't have a person to shout to, to have fun with, to vent to. It was a big deal for me. And yes, he keeps telling me that it's time to come back."

Man Utd ‘decide who to sell between Hojlund and Zirkzee' with striker set for ‘immediate' transfer
Man Utd could be set to sell one of their two flops for a hefty fee RED ALERT Man Utd 'decide who to sell between Hojlund and Zirkzee' with striker set for 'immediate' transfer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANCHESTER UNITED have made a major decision regarding the future of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee at Old Trafford. Hojlund, 22, and Zirkzee, 24, moved to United for hefty fees worth a whopping £72million and £36.5m respectively but both have failed to live up to expectations so far. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Manchester United have decided to hold on to Joshua Zirkzee over Rasmus Hojlund 4 Man Utd could keep Zirkzee and sell Hojlund, with Inter Milan interested Thus, the two strikers have been linked with moves away from Man Utd amid manager Ruben Amorim's planned summer squad overhaul. According to Corriere dello Sport, however, the Red Devils have decided to hold on to Zirkzee. This comes amid intense interest from Inter Milan for Hojlund, whom the Manchester giants are open to selling this summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are so keen on the Denmark international they are set to go "full speed ahead" for his signature. The two Italian sources claim United are much more interested in a permanent deal. And Amorim's side value the Dane at around £34-38m this summer. Inter prefer a loan deal with a purchase clause which is almost an obligation to buy in 2026. The Nerazzurri's offer would also include a hefty loan fee for the initial year. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK United are not in a hurry to sell Hojlund as his contract runs until 2028. Inter feel like that could work to their advantage as they can wait until the Red Devils sign a new striker. Paul Scholes says Man Utd must keep Rasmus Hojlund and reveals how to get the best out of him Man Utd are keeping tabs on the likes of Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres and Napoli's Victor Osimhen. And if the Premier League giants manage to get a new centre-forward, who will almost certainly command a high transfer fee as well as expensive wages, then they might have to make room in the squad and salary bill. Hojlund is keen to move to Inter with the Serie A giants' officials working on a potential deal from the US, where the club is taking part in the Club World Cup. There's already been an initial meeting in Milan and another via intermediaries is expected to take place in the coming days. 4
