Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United visit Bristol City in their opening Championship game on Sunday, 4 AugustJonathan Woodgate's Middlesbrough will play Championship new boys Luton Town in the opening match of the 2019-20 English Football League season. But it is not yet certain whether Frank Lampard, whose side were beaten by Aston Villa at Wembley, will still be in charge of the Rams for that opening game. Chelsea have yet to approach Derby, with the Championship side opening talks with Lampard over a new contract. Eight Championship sides will be led out by new managers, including Woodgate at Middlesbrough and Graeme Jones at Luton Town on the opening night of the campaign. Leeds and Derby, who famously clashed over the 'Spygate' saga before then meeting in the play-offs, face one another on 21 September.
