Forgive me for going full Jamie O'Hara here, but it's time to rejoice: proper football is BACK.

Yes, last week's Carabao Cup games - and the World Cup - were a nice little distraction to tide us over but the real stuff is back this weekend. And there's plenty of talking points to get stuck into before we prepare to embark on the white-knuckle ride that is a 46 game EFL season.

In the Championship, it's the land of the fallen giants with West Ham, Wolves and Burnley dropping back into the second tier. Will they make an instant return? Or can the teams who narrowly missed out on promotion last year, such as Middlesbrough, Millwall and Southampton, beat them to the post? Don't forget, the top eight will make up the play-offs this year.

Then in League One, Leicester City are the big scalp after dropping into arguably the most unpredictable division of all. They will vie with Sheffield Wednesday and Jack Wilshere's Luton Town for promotion. And in League Two, can Gary Neville and David Beckham's Salford City finally get over the line after some eye-catching transfer business?
