  3. Pick of the stats: Wrexham v Watford

    The club crests of Wrexham and Watford side by side

    Wrexham will hope to bounce back from the disappointment of conceding a stoppage-time equaliser at Cardiff on Monday when they host Watford on Saturday (15:00 BST).

    Watford raised a few eyebrows on the opening weekend by beating Southampton 2-1.

    • Wrexham have won just one of their past 11 Football League games against Watford (D3 L7), a 3-1 home win in the third tier in April 1997.

    • Watford have lost only one of their past five away league matches against Wrexham (W2 D2), drawing their past two: 1-1 in 1997-98 and 2-2 last season.

    • On the opening weekend in the Championship, no side attempted more shots on target than Wrexham (7), while they hit the woodwork three times – their most since against Notts County in February 2024 in League Two (also three).

    • Watford have won their opening away game of a league season just once in the last seven campaigns (D2 L4), a 3-2 success over Millwall in 2024.

    • Wrexham's Phil Parkinson has won only one of his six managerial meetings with Watford across all competitions (D1 L4), triumphing 2-1 in August 2012 in the second round of the League Cup with Bradford City.

  4. Pick of the stats: Derby County v Cardiff City

    The Derby County and Cardiff City club crests side by side

    It is 100 years since these two sides first met in a league game.

    On that day in 1926, Derby won 6-3 with the first four meetings producing 27 goals between them - something similar on Saturday (15:00 BST) would certainly keep the Pride Park crowd entertained.

    • Derby County have won just one of their past eight league games against Cardiff City (D2 L5), though that sole victory came in their last home fixture against the Welsh side – a 1-0 win in September 2024.

    • Cardiff City have won just one of their past five away league games against Derby County (D2 L2), scoring exactly one goal in four of those matches.

    • Derby are hoping to avoid losing their opening two league games of a campaign for the second consecutive season; prior to that, the Rams had only suffered that fate once since 2005-06 onwards (in 2020-21).

    • Cardiff have failed to win their opening away league game of a campaign in each of the past four seasons (D2 L2), with their last in the Championship ending in a 5-0 hammering at Burnley in 2024.

    • New Derby signing Alex Mowatt has netted three goals across 16 league matches against Cardiff – his joint-most against any team during his career.
