Line-up questions

When are the official Championship line-ups announced?

Clubs publish the team sheet about 60 minutes before kick-off. This page swaps each predicted XI for the confirmed one as soon as it is released.

How are the probable line-ups predicted?

We start from each side's last confirmed starting eleven, remove injured and suspended players reported in the injury feed, and follow the coach's recent formation.

Which round does this page show?

Always the Championship round in play. Once only its last fixture or two remain, it moves on to the next round, so this address stays the same all season.
