Coventry City host Stoke City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday (April 1) in the Championship.
The hosts are enjoying a good run of form, making a late push for the promotion playoffs after sitting in the bottom half of the table earlier this year. Coventry beat Blackpool 4-1 last time out and could have won by a bigger margin after a dominant performance. Coventry are eighth in the standings with 57 points from 38 games.
Stoke, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league recently but remain hopeful of a top-half finish. They drew goalless with Norwich City in their last game and will perhaps feel they deserved more after being the more adventurous side in attack.
