Whilst it would be too far to suggest that Birmingham were particularly impressive against Blackburn last week, they actually showed something new in that they were able to find a way to win when they were 1-0 going into the 90th minute.

Against both Ipswich and Sheffield United, Blues have been the better team, and the control that they exerted both on and off the ball has really impressed me. I was probably guilty of underestimating them pre-season.

Oxford won't be underestimating Blues, but the question will be what they can do about it. The major concern for me is how the central defence and central midfield of Oxford deal with the sheer busyness of Birmingham’s players.

Jay Stansfield, Kyogo Furuhashi, Tomoki Iwata, and Paik Seung-ho are non-stop, and they do things at pace. Pace is something lacking in that area for Oxford, and there is a danger that Yellows simply get overrun there and aren't able to gain any control.

Getting carried away with one display is not what this column is all about, but scoring five goals against Derby, with five different scorers, was a great antidote to an opening day display in which they failed to break down Hull despite generating 1.43 xG that day.

The strength of this Coventry team is that there are many different routes to goal for them. Their xG data since Frank Lampard took charge is really strong. Their last 30 matches have seen Sky Blues average 1.72 xGF and 1.31 xGA, and they have won their last six matches on xG.

QPR look exciting going forward, but still have some creases to iron out organisationally and defensively. They edged the xG battle on opening day against Preston in their draw, but then started too sloppily against Watford, and it cost them.

I can see Coventry dominating xG here, and this obviously gives them a great chance of going on to win the match.

Harrogate have enjoyed a good start to the campaign, having started as they always do as one of the pre-season favourites for relegation, a market they never interest me in as they are one of those teams who always find a way to outperform their resources.

They have taken eight points from their first four games and are yet to taste defeat, but they should face a stiff test when Chesterfield visit on Saturday. The Spireites won their opening three games before crashing to a 4-1 defeat at Gillingham on Tuesday, so they will be looking to get back on track here.

Whisper it quietly, but I was impressed with Chesterfield as an attacking force when they played local rivals Mansfield in the Carabao Cup, only denied from racking up a few goals by a superb Liam Roberts in goal. They have scored in each of their four league games, as have Harrogate, and I see no reason why that won’t continue on Saturday.

St Johnstone are the only side in the Championship to have won their opening two fixtures, and the goal glut of the Perth side at McDiarmid Park is set to continue against Arbroath.

Simo Valakari’s side are set up with an attacking mindset, and this has been reflected by the fact that they have scored 16 times in their four home matches across all competitions. Although Saints were stopped 1-0 against Premiership Motherwell last weekend, that was a test on a very different level. They had just 40% of the ball in that game; they have had upwards of 60% in both league games.

This is a team that will play on the front foot and try to score goals. They netted five in their previous home league match against Partick and also hit three against fellow Championship side Raith Rovers in the League Cup group stage.

Arbroath, meanwhile, have yet to keep a clean sheet in their three fixtures against second-tier rivals this season. Although they won 3-1 against a weak Queen’s Park side a fortnight ago, they gave up 15 shots, including six on target.
