Looking to pick up their fourth win in five EFL Championship games, Blackpool visit the Coventry Building Society Arena to face Coventry City on Tuesday.

The hosts head into the game on a two-game losing streak and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Coventry City were knocked out of the FA Cup on Saturday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Southampton in extra time.

Mark Robins’ men have now managed just one win from their last four games in all competitions, losing three matches in that time.

With 40 points from 27 games, Coventry City are currently 12th in the EFL Championship standings, level on points with Tuesday’s visitors, albeit with two games in hand.

Meanwhile, Blackpool returned to winning ways last time out as they saw off Bristol City 3-1 on home turf.

This followed an impressive 1-1 draw with high-flying Fulham which saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.

However, Blackpool head into the game without a win in any of their last five games and will be looking to bring an end to this dry spell.
