Saturday's Football fixtures are a huge part of the English tradition and I'm here to provide some insight and try and find the best value in selected matches.
Liam Manning has been tasked with the job of getting Norwich City back to the Premier League, and it appears to be a great appointment from the outside, given that he led Bristol City to the playoffs last season.
The Canaries have recruited well and relied heavily on their home form last season, so they will want to continue their good form at Carrow Road with an opening day victory over unpredictable Millwall.
Derby finished the season strongly to avoid relegation to League One, and played out a 0-0 draw at home against Stoke on the final day of last season.
The Rams look more than capable of snatching a draw here after only finishing a point behind the Potters last season.
West Brom look an exciting prospect under new manager Ryan Mason, and after a 9th-place finish last season, they will want to improve on that, but they haven't had the best of pre-seasons.
Blackburn ended the season with four wins from five to finish outside the playoffs on goal difference.
They've carried on that momentum, with another four wins from five in pre-season, and look fantastic value to snatch three points at the Hawthorns today.

Preston look set for a tough season after winning just one of their last 13 matches in the 24/25 Championship season.
They have, though, been involved in a match with both teams scoring in seven matches on the trot, and that looks the safest way to go in this contest.
Leyton Orient made the playoff final last year but started this season with a 3-0 defeat away to Huddersfield. Just 3 shots on target will do them no favours going forward, and they could struggle at home today against the Latics.
Wigan dominated their opening fixture at home to Northampton, winning 3-1. They look like tremendous value to come out victorious here after Leyton Orient's struggles in Yorkshire last week.
Stockport produced a fantastic performance to down Bolton at home on the opening day and can continue their momentum today with a victory at Adams Park.
Wycombe succumbed to newly promoted Bradford after conceding two early goals and eventually lost 2-1. They won't have it any easier today against promotion-chasing Stockport, and The Hatters look most likely to grab the 3 points here.
