The 2024/25 EFL Championship season is turning out to be another thrilling campaign in the English second tier.
Alongside the dream of pushing for Premier League promotion at the end of the campaign there is also a relegation battle to avoid slipping into the EFL League One.
24 teams are going head-to-head in a busy domestic schedule with the second half of the season generally involving two games per week for each team.
