What happened. The Championship's first derby weekend of the season sees Millwall host West Ham and Wolves welcome West Bromwich Albion. Millwall and West Ham meet for the first time in almost 15 years, renewing a rivalry dating back to 1899.
- Millwall and West Ham's rivalry is known as the 'Dockers Derby', rooted in London's shipyards.
- The last meeting between the sides at The Den was a goalless draw 15 years ago.
- Promotion and relegation last May brought several long-standing rivalries back together.
The derbies mark the first blocked-out weekend on many fans' calendars this Championship season.
