Sheffield United v Coventry City - Sky Bet Championship
Coventry City will host Bristol City - Sky Bet Championship

Coventry City will host Bristol City at Coventry Building Society Arena on Sunday in another round of EFL Championship football.

The home side have had mixed results this season but have particularly struggled for form of late and now find themselves in the bottom half of the league table. They played out a goalless draw against Cardiff City in their last game and will feel they deserved more from the game after being the more dominant side.

Coventry sit mid-table in 13th place with 34 points picked so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Sunday.

Bristol City have struggled for results of late after a fairly decent run of form at the beginning of the campaign. They played out a dour goalless draw against Millwall in their last game, with both sides struggling to find their goalscoring touch despite creating various half-chances to break the deadlock.

The visitors sit 18th in the league table with 28 points from 25 games. They will aim to shake off their latest results and kick off the new year on a high.
