Coventry City and Blackpool will go head-to-head at the Coventry Building Society Arena in round 18 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (October 29).
The hosts head into the weekend unbeaten in their last three games against the Seasiders and will look to continue in the same vein.
Coventry turned in a resilient team performance last weekend, fighting back from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw with Rotherham United. Before that, they were on a three-game winning streak, scoring four goals and keeping three clean sheets.
Coventry's impressive turnaround has seen them move to 22nd place in the standings. They could rise as high as 16th with all three points this weekend.
Meanwhile, Blackpool returned to winning ways on Saturday by seeing off Preston North End 4-2 at home. Before that, they were on a two-game winless run, picking up a draw and a loss. Blackpool are 18th in the standings, claiming 19 points from 16 games.
