Coventry City and Norwich City will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 28 lunchtime kickoff on Saturday (January 21).
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Burnley last weekend. Jordan Beyer's strike eight minutes from time proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Norwich, meanwhile, were rampant in a 4-0 win at Preston North End. Teemu Pukki set the ball rolling in the 13th minute, while Kieran Dowell's brace made it 3-0 by the 28th. Pukki completed his brace in the 69th to help the Canaries claim a comfortable win.
The win saw David Wagner's side climb to seventh spot in the standings with 39 points. They're just two points behind the playoff spots. Coventry, meanwhile, occupy the 15th spot, having garnered 35 points from 26 games.

Coventry vs Norwich City Prediction
Norwich's promotion aspirations have been plagued by inconsistency, but David Wagner's side will look to build on their comfortable win over Preston. Coventry, meanwhile, also have promotion aspirations, and a win here will send them within touching distance of the top six.
The hosts are on a four-game winless run and are winless in their last three home games. That streak is unlikely to end against Norwich.
