Five things in EFL: Fallen giants and ambitious upstarts
BBC Sport highlights five things to keep an eye on in this weekend's EFL schedule.
In the English Football League, two clubs, West Ham United and Leicester City, are determined to overcome their relegation struggles and rejoin the top flight. West Ham recently made the record signing of £22 million for Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, while Leicester City recently appointed new manager Russell Martin. Meanwhile, teams like Lincoln City, Bromley, and York City have enjoyed success in recent years and are aiming to build on their achievements.
Lincoln City won the League One title last season, Bromley rose from the National League South to League One, and York City recently secured the National League title. Tony Mowbray, who managed Blackburn Rovers to promotion from League One in 2017-18, returns to manage Blackburn against Middlesbrough, his former club. Bromley, a National League newcomer, face League One side Burton Albion, while York City, who just won the National League title, take on League Two opponents Rotherham United.
