EFL Championship PREVIEW 29 Aug 2026: Lincoln go to Bolton to face the captain they sold, and West Ham are still waiting

Three matches open the card at 12:30 BST. Wolverhampton Wanderers host Stoke City with Cesar Peixoto having set the tone in the build-up — "We must make Molineux our fortress" — and with his side unbeaten in four competitive matches, most recently 3-1 against Preston North End and 2-0 against Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Cup, though Kieran Trippier and Yerson Mosquera are out for the foreseeable future.
