Friday's encounter between Colchester United and Carlisle United is the first match of a full programme of League One fixtures.

Colchester earned their first league win of the season last time out while Greg Abbott's Carlisle have enjoyed a promising start to the campaign.

Bournemouth have surprised most by their start to life in League One and they will aim to build on their form when they host Notts County on Saturday.

Walsall are seeking a third win on the spin as the club travel to Gus Poyet's Brighton, who suffered their first lost of the term last time out.

Dagenham & Redbridge have endured defeat in their opening two matches this campaign and will be eager to put that right versus Tranmere Rovers.

Sheffield Wednesday have boasted a solid return of seven points from a possible nine and tackle Hartlepool United, who are also unbeaten.

Bright

Charlton sit third in the early League One table after a bright beginning to the season, and Phil Parkinson's charges lock horns with Huddersfield, who were beaten 5-1 by Everton in the Carling Cup on Wednesday.

Yeovil Town seemingly face a tough task when they travel to Oldham Athletic, who are looking decent to date and currently lie second in the standings.

Plymouth Argyle will attempt to bounce back from their first loss of the season as they welcome Peterborough United to Home Park.

Brentford and Rochdale are both yet to win this term, and the pair go head-to-head at Griffin Park in a bid to resolve those records.

Elsewhere, Bristol Rovers face Southampton, MK Dons are in action against Swindon Town, while Exeter City travel to Leyton Orient.
