Coventry City will host Bristol City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side are enjoying a strong run of form at the moment, shaking off their sluggish start to the season and are now back in contention for playoff football. They beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in their last league outing with team captain Ben Sheaf scoring a brace before their opponents scored a consolation strike midway through the second half.
Coventry City sit sixth in the table with 43 points from 28 matches and will be looking to continue their strong run of form on Tuesday.
Bristol City have had their struggles in the league of late but remain hopeful of a top-half finish. They played out a 1-1 draw against Watford last time out in the Championship before playing out a goalless draw against Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on Friday.
The visitors sit mid-table in 13th place with 37 points picked so far and will be looking to return to winning ways here.
