It would be fair to say that Liam Manning hasn't quite got the tune out of Norwich that he would've hoped for at this stage.

Whilst chance creation and attacking play still look fairly healthy, especially with Josh Sargent still at the club, Norwich being in the bottom five for xG conceded isn't what I expected to see, even from such a small sample size as this.

Blackburn actually sit alongside Norwich in xG created, 4.2 xG in three matches, so Rovers are finding a way to penetrate their opponents. Making Todd Cantwell their new captain looks to be something of a psychological masterstroke from Val Ismael, as it is bringing some great play out of the mercurial former Norwich man.

Indeed, after a concerning period, there is a sense of cautious optimism around Blackburn and their new crop of foreign signings. A new era seems to be being defined, and the positivity should lead to them being able to capitalise on some potentially loose Norwich defending.

I have never been on board with Hull City so far this season, but the way that Blackburn Rovers were so dominant against them last week was a warning sign that is difficult to ignore.

There had been signs that Hull were going to earn more points than I had previously thought, and an Oli McBurnie/Joe Gelhardt partnership is good for the level, but Rovers were able to play through the Hull midfield too often last week.

Bristol City have managed to play lots of different styles already under Gerhard Struber. I think that the one that has been least convincing is the one where they were asked to play through a stubborn Charlton defence at home.

The reason that I have backed them draw no bet here is that they should have learned from that match, and also that I don't think Hull are ready for being as stubborn and organised as Charlton were at Ashton Gate.

Last week I said that I still expect Ipswich to come good, and whilst the 0-1 defeat to Preston did fulfil the criteria of the bet last week, there was a little erosion in confidence that Ipswich are ready to dominate sooner rather than later.

This is going to be evolution rather than revolution for McKenna, and whilst he probably needs more help from his recruitment team, he also needs more from the players he has, and I think this represents a great chance to get that.

Derby have been really poor so far, more so than I expected. John Eustace hasn't been able to pull a good performance out of them in any of their Championship matches so far, and judging by how Ipswich have restricted their opponents to less than 1 xG per match in terms of chances, it looks a tough opportunity to turn that around here.

We also need to remember that Ipswich have played Birmingham and Southampton in those matches, so their defensive record looks even better in that case. Derby are also down near the bottom of the league for chances created, shots taken, and touches in the opponents' box.

The match is there for Ipswich to win; they just need to take their opportunities.

This selection jumped off the research. All six Championship matches involving these teams so far this season have seen both teams score.

Watford have a young, dynamic attack, with Nestory Irankunda and Luca Kjerrumgaard looking like serious upgrades on what Watford had before going forward. Kjerrumgaard has two goals already and was unlucky not to add to that tally last time out, but more importantly, he has given consistency and a focal point to Watford going forward.

Southampton should have the defensive personnel to keep clean sheets, but structurally, it hasn't come together yet for Will Still. Saints are actually sixth worst in the Championship for xG conceded; they are sitting at 5xGA from their four matches.

However, Saints also currently have the highest xG created totals in the Championship, the only team to have over 7 xG so far.

We can expect chances at both ends here, and both teams scoring looks a reasonable assumption from data and form perspectives.
