The Championship teams who love and hate 12.30pm Saturday kick ...

However, it’s fair to say Saturday 12.30pm kick-offs aren’t everyone’s cup of team. Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp despised them, especially if the Reds were involved in European competition the game immediately before.

They’re here to stay, though, following Sky Sports’ bumper TV deal with the EFL, with Pompey fans unable to attend certain games benefitting three times already this season thanks to live coverage of the Leeds, Luton and Oxford United games on Sky Sports+.

Coventry at home on December 21 will be the next time John Mousinho’s side line-up for a Saturday lunchtime kick-off. But as fans continue to adjust to these early games, which teams currently love and hate the new expectations put on them this term.
