Team News

Coventry
Stoke

  • His absence could trigger a shift to a 4-3-3 with Ben Sheaf stepping into a three-man midfield.
  • Haji Wright returned to the bench against Oxford United but will be eased back into action to avoid aggravating his past injury.
  • Lewis Baker missed the game against Watford with a sickness bug but the midfielder is expected back in time to face Coventry.
  • Centre-back Ben Gibson should also be fit after a short spell on the sidelines, so expect both players to start on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Coventry were pegged back twice by a struggling Oxford United side last weekend but winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto had the final say as his 71st-minute goal sealed a 3-2 away win. The Sky Blues are in remarkable form and now sit fifth after winning eight of their last nine Championship matches.
  • Stoke are in worrying shape as they travel to the West Midlands this weekend. The Potters ground out an uninspiring goalless draw against Watford last time out as they failed to escape the clutches of the relegation battle. Mark Robins returns to his former club looking to improve a return of one point from his side's last three league outings.
