West Bromwich Albion v Rotherham United - Sky Bet Championship
West Bromwich Albion will face Coventry City - Sky Bet Championship

Coventry City will host West Bromwich Albion at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday in another round of EFL Championship football.

The home team have had mixed results this season but are currently pushing for the top half of the Championship table. They played out a 3-3 home draw against Swansea City in their last game and will be gutted not to have come away with all three points after taking a three-goal lead just before the hour mark.

Coventry City sit 14th in the league table with 30 points from 21 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this week.

West Bromwich Albion endured a near-abysmal start to their season but are now playing well under new manager Carlos Corberan. They picked up a comfortable 3-0 win over newly-promoted Rotherham United in their last league outing, with three different players getting on the scoresheet in a dominant performance.

The visitors sit one point and two places behind their midweek opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Wednesday.
