Watch Huddersfield Town AFC Vs. Derby County FC Live Stream: Start Time, EFL Championship Opening Week Finale
English football is back. Though the top-flight Premier League does not get underway until Friday, the always-exciting League Championship wraps up the first week of the 2019-2020 campaign on Monday, with newly relegated Huddersfield Town playing their first match in the second tier since the end of the 2016-2017 season — after the Terriers placed last on the Premier League table in 2018-2019 with only three wins and an anemic 16 points, according to Sky Sports. That means the club placed 82 points behind title-winners Manchester City.
As for their opponents, Derby County FC, not only did they lose the EFL promotion playoff final in May, as The Inquisitr reported, but they also lost their manager, former Chelsea FC legend Frank Lampard. He who moved up to take over the club where he spent 13 years of his 21-season career. New boss Philip Cocu, formerly of Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, makes his official debut in the match that will live stream from West Yorkshire.
